SOCCER/FAI Cup Second round draw:Drogheda United will host Bohemians in the standout tie of the FAI Ford Cup second round.
Currently second and third in the league respectively, the sides met at Dalymount Park on the opening day of the league season but cancelled each other out in a 0-0 draw.
Drogheda won the cup in 2005 before underlining their cup pedigree by claiming back-to-back Setanta Cups this season and last.
Bohemians last lifted this trophy six years ago but new Bohemians manager Sean Connor is confident his side can topple Drogheda in their own backyard.
"We're not in bad form ourselves so it will definitely be an interesting game between two good sides."
Shamrock Rovers and Sligo Rovers meet at Tolka Park in the only other all Premier Division clash.
Peter Hutton lifted the trophy last December as Derry City's winning captain but the veteran defender is now stand-in player-manager at the Brandywell and must prepare for the visit of Monaghan United.
Shelbourne, of course, are a shadow of their former selves following their well documented struggles. But their supporters can contemplate the prospect of eliminating Cork City at Tolka Park.
