EA Sports Cup holders Sligo Rovers have been drawn against non-league surprise package Cockhill Celtic in the Second Round of the competition.
The Bit O’Red will travel to Donegal to face the Intermediate side, who shocked Galway United in the First Round on Monday night.
Paul McKinney was credited with a hat-trick in the 3-1 win for the Inishowen peninsula outfit at Terryland Park. Cockhill Celtic were drawn at home to Paul Cook’s Premier Division stars in Pool Two in the draw at FAI headquarters in Abbotstown today.

Meanwhile, arguably the tie of the round is the meeting in Pool Three of St Patrick’s Athletic and Airtricity League champions Shamrock Rovers.
