UCD made it through to the quarter-finals having seen off higher league opposition in Shelbourne and Longford Town. Former Blues youth striker Colm Whelan is one of the college side's star players.

The tie will be played on the weekend of September 19th.

The Blues are just three games away from a first cup success since 1980. They haven't reached the final of the competition since 2004, when they were defeated 2-1 by Longford Town.

Elsewhere, St. Patrick's Athletic will face Wexford FC, while Finn Harps tackle Dundalk in an all Premier Division affair and Bohemians and Maynooth University Town complete the latest round of fixtures.

Waterford FC are next in action when they face Dundalk at the RSC on Friday night, in what will be a massive game in their hopes to steer clear of the relegation zone over the coming weeks.
