FAI Cup semi-final draw: Cork City to host St Pats, Galway to welcome Bohemians

Cork City will take on St Patrick's Athletic for a place in the FAI Cup final.

The semi-final draw, which took place on Tuesday afternoon, has pitted City, who last won the competition back in 2017 against St Pats with a trip to the Aviva Stadium up for grabs.

Pats last lifted the trophy back in 2021 but their previous triumph in the competition before then came in 2014 under the guidance of current City sporting director Liam Buckley.

Buckley, who also won the league as a player with the Saints, ended their 53 wait for success in the FAI Cup with a 2-0 win over Derry City nine years ago.

In the other last four tie, Galway United will welcome Bohemians to Eamonn Deacy Park.

Galway and Bohs' clash has been set for Saturday October 7th while City and Pats will go head-to-head on Sunday October 8th. Both semis will kick-off at 2.40pm and both will be shown live on RTÉ 1.

The draw for the Women's FAI Cup semi-final was also made on Tuesday and Sligo Rovers will host Athlone Town, while Shamrock Rovers will welcome Dublin rivals Shelbourne.

Rovers and Shels will be played first on Saturday October 14th (kick-off 4pm) while Sligo vs Athlone will be held on the same evening from 6.30pm. Both games will be shown live on LOITV.
