Waterford eventually saw off Athlone Town in the FAI Cup on penalty kicks in what may be one of the best cup ties in recent memory.
A hat-trick, including a long-range screamer, from new Athlone Town recruit Glen McAuley was not enough as the Co. Westmeath side lost on penalties.
OH MY GOD!

They did in fact fall 2-0 behind in normal time before taking what looked to be a winniead 3-2 lead before injury time,
But new Waterford recruit Greg Halford levelled matters before George Forrest then gave the Blues the lead in the 122nd minute of the game.
McAuley would then, however, put his name up in lights scoring with the next touch of the game to bring the game to penalties where it was not to be for Athlone who crashed out of the competition at home.
