Intermediate Cup holders Rockmount reached the third round of the competition thanks to a narrow 2-1 win against Castleview.
The Co Cork side have won the tournament two years in a row but were given a fright by their Munster Senior League opponents.
Former Cobh Ramblers man Eoin Murphy was on target for Eddie Kenny’s champions while Bradley Walsh also netted.
