An injury time goal from Davy Byrne proved the decider in a five goal thriller at Richmond Park, as St Patrick's Athletic knocked their tenants Shamrock Rovers out of the FAI Cup tonight.

Pat's had led twice previously through goals from Darragh Maguire and Tony Bird but were twice pegged back by goals from Tony Grant and Trevor Molloy before Byrne's last gasp winner.

In an eagerly anticipated tie at Turner's Cross, Shelbourne put two past Pat Dolan's Cork City to end the homeside's hopes of Cup success.

Jason Byrne opened the scoring for the visitors after just four minutes before sealing the win with a second 18 minutes from the end.
