Soccer: FAI Cup second round update

There were four FAI second round ties last night. In Terryland Park, Galway United played St Patrick's Athletic and gave them a fright. The game finished 1-1 and must go to a replay. Drogheda United hosted Bangor Celtic at United Park and the suprise of the night was on when the non-league side continued their dreams with a 1-0 victory. In St Mels' Park, Athlone Town dispatched Limerick FC with some ease. The final score was 4-1 there. The St Francis/ Shelbourne game started 25 minutes late because of the large crowd in attendance who arrived to see Shels leave victorious 1-0.

There are four games on tonight in the second round. Derry City versus Bray Wanderers looks like it could be the most evenly matched. Elsewhere, Kilkenny City host Dundalk, Longford Town entertain Waterford, and Sligo Rovers take-on Bluebell United. The Finn Harps/ Home Farm Fingal game is off because Finn Park is unplayable. That game has been rescheduled to Tuesday night. Tomorrow's game between Swilly Rovers and Park Villa has been declared "on" after a pitch inspection this evening.
