Unfortunately the occasion got to Derry as Bray secured a last gasp 3-2 win to inflict a first defeat of the season on the Candystripes.
Gary McCabe and Aaron Greene had given the visitors a 2-0 half time lead before a penalty from Aaron McEnuff and a goal from Dean Jarvis saw Derry level the scores.
But a 93rd minute strike from Bray's Tim Clancy meant it was heartbreak for the club McBride captained.
