CORK CITY’S REWARD for Friday night’s hammering of champions St Pat’s is an away trip to last season’s beaten finalists Derry City.
The pair face off in one of two all-Premier Division ties in the last eight of the competition; the other sees league leaders Dundalk hosting Sligo Rovers.
Dundalk booked their place in the quarters with a 4-1 win in Galway on Friday night, while Sligo’s good start under new manager Micky Adams continued as they were 4-0 winners in Cork last night.
The other quarter finals see Bohemians’ controversial conquerors Bray Wanderers host non-league Killester United, while Longford Town will host the winners of Athlone Town and Junior Cup finalists Sheriff YC.
The sides drew 2-2 in Dublin on Friday night, and will replay for a place in the quarter final tomorrow night, with a 7.45 kick-off in Athlone.
The Quarter-Finals will be played on the weekend of September 13 with the kickoff times yet to be announced.

Up to the heady heights of 15th! Gonna cut the arms off my tracksuit top in tribute to Tim. Keep up the good work and keep big Ben banging them in and we might see another season of premier league football at villa park. Great result with has has happened elsewhere down the bottom.
Villa always seem to grab a few important wins towards the tail end of the season, they’ll stay up this year.
What a job pardew is doing with palace they were 10 pts behind newcastle at one stage and now they are 7 pts clear and could finish as high as 8th.
Two weeks ago Leicester being in this position would have been unthinkable. The way Sunderland and Hull are playing, I wouldn’t be surprised if themselves and Burnley make it (Can’t see QPR doing it).
Kinda sick of sunderland at this stage, wouldn’t mind both goin down. Really want to see Burnley stay up. Imagine a team with Stephen Ward avoiding relegation? Jaassysus
Brilliant photo of Vardy.
