Wins for Drogheda and Cork in the Cups

Declan ‘Fabio’ O'Brien scored twice to help catapult holders Drogheda United into the EA Sports Cup final after a 3-1 semi-final win over Derry City at the Brandywell.

Drogheda started brightly and were deservedly in front after 12 minutes. O'Brien punished a comedy of errors in the Derry defence which saw keeper Ger Doherty twice fail to gather the ball either side of O'Brien hitting the bar before the striker shot the loose ball home.
