Battle of the Rovers pick of cup draw

GIOVANNI TRAPATTONI and Marco Tardelli did the honours for the FAI Ford Cup Third Round last night but the new Irish management team couldn’t stage-manage any real blockbuster clashes.

Indeed, the only all-Premier Division match is a battle of the Rovers as the Dublin Hoops welcome Sligo to Tolka Park.

Otherwise, the night belonged to the ten non-League clubs, all of whom will harbour dreams of the big upset.
