Women’s FAI Cup holders Shelbourne to face DLR Waves as quarter

Shelbourne manager Noel King

Women’s FAI Cup holders Shelbourne will face DLR Waves for a place in the last four after the quarter-final draw was made at FAI HQ this morning.

Noel King’s side received a bye into the last eight and will host a DLR side who produced a huge cup upset by dumping out four-time winners Wexford Youths on penalties last weekend.

2022 runners-up Athlone Town, who overcame Galway United on penalties in the first round, face a tough assignment against current Premier Division leaders and two-time cup winners Peamount United.

Bohemians comfortably saw off Cabinteely on the weekend and will host Sligo Rovers in the last eight, who thumped Bonagee United 11-0 in the cup on Sunday.

The last quarter-final clash sees newcomers Shamrock Rovers travel south to face 2020 finalists Cork City. This year’s final is pencilled in for Tallaght Stadium on Sunday November 19.
