OLD DUBLIN FOES Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers will go head-to-head for a place in the final four of this year’s FAI Cup.
With seven of the eight third round ties complete, the draw for the quarter-finals was made live on RTÉ’s MNS on Monday evening.
Third-placed St Patrick’s Athletic host second-placed Drogheda United while Dundalk make the short trip south to take on Bohemians in Dalymount Park.
Derry City must wait however to find out whether it will be Waterford United or Mervue United who visit the Brandywell. The all-First Division clash was refixed for next Monday, 3 September, after it was postponed for a second time due to a waterlogged pitch in the RSC.
The quarter-final matches will take place on the weekend of 15/16 September.

- St Patrick’s Athletic v Drogheda United
- Derry City v Waterford United / Mervue United
Ties to be played on the week ending 15/16 September.
Fine player, only a matter of time until united ruin him
@Buzz O Sullivan: you must have missed the start of the season with him so?
@Buzz O Sullivan:
Should have known you were a Liverpool fan. Manchester United are the reason Daniel James is now playing in the Premier League, He scored 3 goals already
@Just Some Guy: as I said only a matter of time…
@Buzz O Sullivan: here mate, this is not about United or Liverpool it is about a good young player scoring a good goal. Unbelievable how small minded fools bring it back to premier league football rivalry. Giggs is taking risks and playing young lads, more power to him.
@Seagoat returns: I bleed the red of Liverpool, everything in my life revolves around it. Ynwa
@Buzz O Sullivan: What a sad life that must be.
@Buzz O Sullivan: I’d hope that that’s sarcasm. Can’t understand how anyone could ‘bleed’ any pl side in this day and age given the flippant nature of mercenary players and management.
I doubted Daniel James when he first joined Manchester United but he has proved me wrong. Keep up the good work for club and country
He has been the only positive part of Uniteds start to the season for me.
Daniel James looks like a great young player. He only seems to score quality goals. Let’s hope one or two of our young lads in the 21s become as good as James, Wilson and ampadu
Welsh out in force
Add Jadon Sancho and Declan Rice to that Utd team and they’d suddenly be feared again
