Drogheda United are on the road to face another non-League of Ireland side, College Corinthians, in the FAI Cup. The decision to hold the game in Corinthians Park, which holds roughly a thousand spectators and has no seated stand, has raised some eyebrows. The last time Drogheda United played a Cork team in the FAI Cup was in 2024, when they defeated Wilton United 9-0. This time, the decision to play in a venue with limited capacity has not stopped Drogheda United manager Kevin Doherty from getting his pre-match research done on the round three opponents. Doherty and his assistant Daire Doyle watched College Corinthians play Mayfield United on Saturday and drove down to Cork for the game. They arrived at nine o'clock in the morning and returned from Galway at two o'clock in the morning. College Corinthians is a club with a lot of history and has beaten some good Leinster Senior League teams. The team has a history of defeating non-league teams in the FAI Cup, including defeating Bangor Celtic in 2000 and reports of an unknown team from Cobh dumping them out of the Cup in the 1970s. Drogheda United has a record of falling to non-league teams since entering the competition. Their last win against a non-league side was in 2024. The club has a history of losing to non-league teams, including a 1-0 defeat by Bangor Celtic in 2000 and a report of an unknown team from Cobh dumping them out of the Cup in the 1970s. Drogheda United has fallen to a defeat at the hands of non-league opposition since they first entered the competition. They were relegated following the 2017 season, the last time they faced two non-league sides in one campaign.
