Non-league Killester United knocked Cobh Ramblers out of the Irish Daily Mail FAI Cup on Saturday afternoon with a 3-0 win at Haddon Park.

Mark O’Connell, David Lacey and Dylan O’Driscoll were on target in the second half.

O’Connell opened the scoring in the 48th minute, with Lacey doubling the lead on 72 and O’Driscoll sealing the victory in stoppage time.

Cobh are the second First Division outfit to lose to a Leinster Senior League team after Tolka Rovers dumped Waterford United out last night.

In tonight's other cup clash, Athlone Town just managed to hold off non-league Liffey Wanderers, winning 3-2 after enjoying a 3-0 lead early in the game.
