St Michael’s 0-0 Glengad United (8-9 on penalties)
INISHOWEN LEAGUE OUTFIT Glengad United booked their spot in the second round of the FAI Cup after a dramatic penalty-shootout victory over St. Michael’s.
In a clash of FAI Junior Cup participants, it was the Donegal side — who also advanced on penalties against Home Farm in the preliminary round — who squeezed their way through again in what is their first-ever FAI Senior Cup proper.
Colin Bargary was sent off early in the second half for the hosts but there were chances aplenty for each side at Cooke Parke.
Terance Doherty slotted home the winning penalty to give the Inishowen side a day to remember in Tipperary.

Leinster Senior League side Crumlin United saw off Malahide in a Dublin derby despite falling behind in the eighth minute.
It took only two minutes for former League of Ireland midfielder Craig Walsh to cancel out the visitors’ lead, and further goals from Ger Brady and Alan McGreal were enough for the Dublin 12 club to kill off their opposition before the break.
Cobh Ramblers 0-1 Dundalk
The holders are in the hat for Monday’s third-round draw thanks to a stunning Georgie Kelly header in the second half, but they were made to work for their victory in St. Colman’s Park.
Rams were largely restricted to long-range efforts but their compact defensive setup made it difficult for Dundalk to find the breakthrough.
It was Sean Gannon’s cross from the right-hand side which teed up Kelly on 67 minutes for what transpired to be the winner, although Cobh did have a sliver of a chance late on when Cian Leonard was off the mark with an acrobatic attempt.
