EA Sports Cup round-up: Bohs teach students a lesson

Bohemians came from 2-0 down to beat UCD 5-3 in a penalty shootout after extra-time at Dalymount Park to advance to the quarter-finals of the EA Sports Cup as the wet weather wreaked havoc with yesterday’s schedule, forcing the postponement of five of the competition’s eight fixtures.

The second-round games between Waterford and Cork City, St Patrick’s Athletic v holders Dundalk, Shamrock Rovers v Longford Town, and Limerick v Cobh Ramblers, along with the rescheduled first-round clash between non-league St Mochta’s and Drogheda United, all fell victim to waterlogged pitches.

In the only other games played yesterday, Derry City came from behind to beat Finn Harps 2-1 in Ballybofey in the north-west derby while Sligo Rovers won 1-0 at Galway United.
