Soccer:Monaghan United will have a chance to exact revenge for last season's EA Sports Cup when they take on defending champions Sligo Rovers in the fourth round of the FAI Cup.

This evening's draw threw up some intriguing ties, but just two Premier Division contests, with Shamrock Rovers awaiting the visit of UCD and a Louth derby between Drogheda United and Dundalk on the cards.

Sheriff YC, the only non-league side left in the competition, will host a local derby with Shelbourne FC, though they may seek to switch the venue to Tolka Park to maximise revenue.

Sheriff boss Paul Ussher said: “It’s a great draw to look forward to for the start of our season in August. A few of our guys have played for Shelbourne when they were younger so they’ll be looking forward to it.”
