Defending FAI Cup champions Cork City will welcome non-league side Maynooth University Town to Turner’s Cross in the second round of the FAI Cup.

John Caulfield’s side drew their second non-league opponents of the competition after they saw off Home Farm in the first round while Maynooth beat Leeds 2-0.

Derry City will take on St Patrick’s Athletic at the Brandywell in what could be the standout tie of the second round after the Candystripes set a record with their 12-2 win over Blarney on Saturday.

Bohemians will travel to Galway while an all-First Division clash sees Shelbourne meet Longford Town.
