Waterford United made no mistake at the second attempt as they swept aside Tolka Rovers 4-1 to reach the third round of the FAI Cup.

Held to a 2-2 draw at Tolka's Frank Cooke Park on Friday, Waterford were not about to be caught napping at a soggy RSC and went ahead after just two minutes through Shane Harte.

A Rovers equaliser after 10 minutes paid lip service to the romance of the cup for the non-league outfit but United hit back with three further goals before half-time, Robert Brosnan netting twice with Paul McCarthy adding a fourth. 
 
In tonight's other replay, Limerick 37 currently lead fellow eircom League newcomers 1-0 at Newcastle Park.
