Non-league Crumlin United have been pitted against Airtricity League leaders Dundalk in today’s third round draw for the FAI Cup while there are also three top-division ties.

Dundalk, who lost the first leg of their Champions League third round qualifier away to BATE Borisov earlier this week, will be aiming for an 11th success in the competition.

The three all-Airtricity Premier Division ties will see struggling Bohemians host Derry City, Sligo Rovers travel to Ferrycarrig Park to take on Wexford Youths while Longford Town will have home advantage against Cork City.

Limerick side Janesboro were handed an away date with UCD, while fellow non-league outfit Ringmahon Rangers will entertain Cobh Ramblers in a Cork derby.

Elsewhere Athlone Town, rooted to the bottom of the First Division, will host Shamrock Rovers, while Limerick travel to Inchicore hoping to cause an upset.

The draw, which took place in Clonmel as part of the FAI's Festival of Football week in Tipperary, was conducted by Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill and FAI President Tony Fitzgerald.
