First Division Cork City provided the only shock of the first round of the FAI Cup this weekend with a sensational 3-2 win over Sligo Rovers at the Showgrounds.
The Leesiders fell behind thanks to a Romeo Parkes goal in the 12

Parkes would level again minutes later with a fine before Dale Holland struck late to hand City a priceless cup win over the Bit O’Red to give his side some much-needed impetus ahead of the final series of games.
