Finn Harps to learn next FAI Cup assignment this evening as RTÉ to show second round draw

Finn Harps will learn their opponents for the second round of the Irish Daily Mail FAI Cup this evening.

The draw takes place on Soccer Republic, which is first shown on the RTÉ Player at 6.30pm.

Harps were involved in a cracking Cup classic on Friday when Ollie Horgan’s team defeated Bohemians 4-3 after extra time.

Sean Houston’s second penalty of the night forced extra time in the 94th minute and Eddie Dsane’s free-kick gave Harps a passage into the next round.

“Maybe this is a good distraction,” Horgan said, “but we need to get points on the board to stay in the Premier Division, which is our priority.”

Harps supporters and especially the club’s Board of Directors will be hoping for a home draw this evening.
