Intermediate Cup holders Rockmount reached the third round of the competition thanks to a narrow 2-1 win against Castleview.

The Co Cork side have won the tournament two years in a row but were given a fright by their Munster Senior League opponents.

Former Cobh Ramblers man Eoin Murphy was on target for Eddie Kenny’s champions while Bradley Walsh also netted.

But Collinstown produced one of the shocks of the round with a 3-2 win over Lucan United.

Former Dundalk and Bohemians man Kurtis Byrne, Dylan Clarke and Luke Kelly were on target for the LSL Senior 1A side.

Adam McMahon and Gary Gannon both found the net for Usher but goals from Ciaran Walsh, Louis Franzoni and Sam Hayden sent Ayrfield through in a thriller.

Kilnamanagh also dumped Crumlin United out on penalties.



Ger Shortt and Ryan Masterson both traded goals before the Tallaght side won on spot-kicks.
