Limerick FC have been drawn at home in the quarter-finals of the FAI Cup
LIMERICK FC have been handed a glamour home tie in the quarter-finals of the Irish Daily Mail FAI Cup.
Tommy Barrett’s charges will host Premier Division leaders Dundalk at the Markets Field in a last eight tie on the weekend ending Sunday September 9.
It will be the second successive weekend that the two sides meet in competitive fixtures as relegation-threatened Limerick are also due to host high-flying Dundalk in the SSE Airtricity League this Friday night at the Markets Field, 7.45pm.
Limerick earned their place in the FAI Cup quarter-finals thanks to a 2-1 win over First Division side Cabinteely at the Garryowen venue when Conor Ellis and Barry Maguire netted for the Blues.
Dates and kick-off times for the fixtures are due to be confirmed in due course.
