Cork City's dubious reward for overcoming Longford Town in the first round of the FAI Cup on Tuesday night will be an away tie against SSE Airtricity League leaders Shamrock Rovers.

Ricardo Dinanga struck the winner against their First Division opponents at the tail end of extra-time at Turner's Cross for ten-man City who lost Graham Cummins to a red card earlier in the evening. Rovers will be an entirely different prospect in Tallaght.
