Cork City will have home advantage in the semi-finals of this year's Setanta Cup after beating Drogheda 2-0 in their final Group One game last night.

Goals from Denis Behan and George O'Callaghan helped the Leesiders to finish top of the group on 16 points.

Drogheda have finished up second and now face an away tie in the semi-finals.

Last night's other Group One game saw Dungannon Swifts beat Portadown 3-0, but neither side had the possibility of progressing to the last four.

In Group Two, meanwhile, Shelbourne have claimed top spot after a 3-0 win over Glentoran at the Oval in Belfast last night.

Jason Byrne scored twice for the Dubliners on either side of an Ollie Cahill goal.

The other group game between Derry City and Linfield finished scoreless at the Brandywell, leaving both sides still in contention for a semi-final place with one group game yet to play.

Shels are now on eight points, Linfield on seven and Derry on six.
