Alan M
atthews enjoyed victory for the first time with The Boynesiders as they got their cup run off to a good start on Easter Monday. Brian King, who was the best player on the pitch, opened the scoring on 57 minutes when he reacted quickly to William Woods' original effort on goal.
The Carlisle Grounds outfit boasted a host of new faces, but never really got going despite John Mulroy and Daryl Robson coming close to scoring. With time ticking down, King slid a pass through to James Chambers to wrap up the win with a well-taken finish and ensure Drogheda advance to the next round.
Galway United 2-2 Salthill Devon (5-3 on penalties)
Ian Foster's side were pushed all the way into a penalty shoot-out in order to beat local rivals Salthill Devon in a gripping match on Monday. After James O'Shea and Declan Edwards fired The Tribesmen into an early lead, it looked as though it would be plain sailing for the home team. However, they hit some choppy water in the second-half. Enda Dunne and Marcen Maranck bagged a goal each to force the game into extra-time, where not much happened and a shoot-out was needed to crown a winner. Alan Murphy, Edwards, Sean Kelly, David Cooke, and Paul Sinnott were all successful from the spot, but the miss from Salthill's Ray Winters ultimately decided this tie.
