The draws for the First Round of the Sports Direct Men’s & Women’s FAI Cup competitions was made today at the FAI National Training Centre.

There were 12 non-league teams involved in the draw, including FAI Intermediate Cup winners Rockmount who will take on Gorey Rangers.
The First Round games are scheduled to take place on the week ending Sunday, July 23 with all 32 teams hoping to take a step closer to the Final in Aviva Stadium on Sunday, November 12.

Six-times Cup winners Shamrock Rovers are back involved in the competition for the first time since 2013 and they have the task of trying to overcome Killester Donnycarney.
The games in the Women’s FAI Cup will be played on the week ending Sunday, August 27 with all sights set on reaching the Final on Sunday, November 5.
