A brace of goals within 16 minutes from Trevor Molloy sent Bohemians on their way into the second round after a facile 6-2 win over first division Dublin City at Dalymount Park.
Molloy shot home his first from a sixth-minute penalty following a Thomas McGauley hand-ball. The Bohemains striker then claimed his second 10 minutes later.
Glen Crowe added Bohemians' third goal on 34 minutes and Dublin City got a goal back when Paul Crowley headed home nine minutes into the second-half.
But Crowe connected with a Gary O'Neill cross to fire in off a post for Bohemians's fourth goal 20 minutes from time. O'Neill added a fifth eight minutes later before former Bohemians stirker Brendan Markey got a second for Dublin City on 81 minutes. Bohemians had the last say, however, with Dave Morrison getting their sixth three minutes from the end.
Tony McDonnell headed a second-half winner as UCD, last season's losing finalists, beat Bray Wanderers 2-1 at the Carlisle Grounds. McDonnell dived low to head in Robert McAuley's free-kick on 66 minutes.
UCD took a 38th-second lead when Alan McNally forced the ball home after Stephen Lynch got in a header to Greg O'Dowd's corner. Bray levelled on 28 minutes with Kieran O'Brien scoring from the penalty spot after McAuley's handball.
Early goals from Seβn Hargan and Darren Kelly gave Derry City a 2-0 win over Finn Harps in the north-west derby at Finn Park.
Waterford United raced into a two-goal lead within seven minutes on their way to a 2-1 win over Kilkenny City at the RSC. Eric Bradley ran from the half-way line onto Gary Dempsey's pass to score the opening goal after just four minutes.
Bradley then set up Barry Wood for the Blues' second. Kilkenny got back into it through Gavin Moore on 62 minutes, but they couldn't find an equaliser to force extra-time.
