The competition’s 25-times record winners lost in earlier rounds to Bohemians at Dalymount the following year and subsequently to Derry City in 2022 before last year’s first-round exit in Dundalk. “They’ll want to play off the fact we had a tough game , but we’ll be ready. We want to get to that final. We want to win the cup. We remember how special that day was .It’s perhaps an even bigger night for Alan Reynolds’s Bohemians, whose season could be all but over if they lose.
In Friday night’s other all Premier Division clash, Drogheda United host Dundalk in a Louth derby at Weavers Park.
