Shels into Cup quarters

Shelbourne needed penalties to see off Galway United and book their place in the FAI Cup quarter finals last night.

Aidan O'Brien scored in extra-time on his debut for Shels, but a Jimmy Keohane equaliser for the visitors meant spot kicks were needed at Tolka Park after it finished 1-1.

Joining the Premier Division leaders in the hat for Tuesday's draw are Derry City.
