Dundalk demolish tame Shelbourne

Dundalk 5 Shelbourne 0: Premier Division leaders Dundalk cruised into the last 16 of the FAI Cup with a comfortable victory over Shelbourne at Oriel Park.

Stephen Kenny’s side were always on top against their First Division opponents with an own goal and strikes from Jake Kelly, Kurtis Byrne, Richie Towell and Ronan Finn seeing them win comfortably.

Shelbourne’s best hope of causing an upset came in the 11th minute when Alan O’Sullivan seized on a Paddy Barrett mistake to burst through only to see his shot clip the post.
