Bohemians will host Shamrock Rovers in the second round of the FAI Cup, one of three all Premier League ties that came out of Thursday’s draw at the National Sports Campus.
Bohs, last year’s beaten finalists, were the victors the last time the sides met in the second round back in 2021, winning 2-1 at Dalymount Park thanks to goals from Ali Coote and Andy Lyons.
The draw threw up another mouthwatering derby, with Drogheda United taking on Dundalk in the all-Louth affair at Weavers Park.
The third all Premier Division clash sees defending champions St Patrick’s Athletic face a tough trip to the Brandywell to take on Derry City.
The derbies are not just confined to the Premier Division, with Wilton United taking on Carrigaline United, two of the five Cork sides from the Munster Senior League to make it through to the second round.
Donegal side Cockhill Celtic face the longest trip of the second round after being drawn away to Premier Division Waterford, leaving the Inishowen Football League an 850km round trip to the RSC.
The second round ties will take place on the week ending July 21st, 2024.
Meanwhile, in the Women’s FAI Cup first round, Galway United host Shelbourne in a standout tie as last year’s winners Athlone Town receive a bye into the quarter-finals.
