Cork City also progressed to the next round with a 3-0 win over Leicester Celtic at Turner’s Cross.

Cobh Ramblers made it a Cork double with a 2-0 win away to Bangor Celtic. Samuel Bellis and Matthew Whelan were on target for the First Division side.
And Salthill Devon beat St Michael’s 1-0, Timmy Molloy with the decisive goal in the 10th minute.
Meanwhile in the SSE Airtricity Women’s Premier Division, Galway United struck late on to secure a 1-1 draw away to defending champions Athlone Town.
Aislinn Meaney bagged the Tribe’s 85th minute equaliser, which cancelled out Kelly Brady’s 26th minute header.

Second-placed Shelbourne bounced back from last weekend’s defeat to Bohemians with an impressive 4-1 win over Peamount United.
Eoin Wearen’s side came from behind after Aisling Spillane handed Peamount the dream start. Penalties from Aoibheann Clancy and Kate Mooney either side of half time sent Shels on their way, before Mooney and Noelle Murray secured a crucial three points.
Elsewhere, DLR Waves stunned Shamrock Rovers at Tallaght Stadium. Michelle Doonan’s 25th-minute goal settled the score — and secured another big result for Laura Heffernan’s side after last weekend’s win over Peamount.
Bohs, Wexford and Treaty United won today’s other fixtures. Leiagh Glennon scored the only goal at Dalymount Park as the hosts beat Waterford 1-0; Della Doherty, Ciara Rossiter and Leah McGrath steered third-placed Wexford to a 3-0 victory at Sligo Rovers; and Isabella Flocchini, Madelyn Robbins and Mara McCleary powered Treaty past Cork City.
A late goal from City debutant Aine Walsh was but a consolation in a 3-1 defeat at Turner’s Cross.
