Bohemians and Drogs set for tie of the round as Cup fever takes hold

It’s the weekend when some of the country’s top intermediate sides dream of causing a shock against Airtricity League opposition.

But there’s little doubt that the most appealing FAI Cup second round tie comes at Dalymount Park this evening where Premier Division sides Bohemians and Drogheda United collide.

Seven of the 16 second round games take place tonight, and the main event is certainly in Phibsboro where Bohs, who last won the competition in 2008, welcome a United side who have been shipping late goals in recent weeks.
