Photograph: Bryan Keane/InphoThe last two winners of the FAI Cup will meet in the standout fixture of the second round of this year’s competition, with defending champions Derry City hosting 2021 winners St Patrick’s Athletic at the Brandywell next month.
Derry City beat Shelbourne 4-0 in last year’s decider, while St Patrick’s Athletic won in a penalty shoot-out against Bohemians in 2021. It is the only meeting of Premier Division sides in the second round, with four games featuring contests between Premier Division and Division One sides. Runaway Division One leaders Galway will fancy their chances away to UCD, as will Waterford when they travel to Turners Cross to take on Cork City.
