Holders Dundalk overcame UCC 5-0 in Cork last night to book their place in the semi-finals of the EA Sports Cup.
Stephen Kenny’s side hit the front inside the opening two minutes through Ciaran O’Connor before Jake Kelly doubled their advantage in the 12th minute.
Dundalk were 3-0 ahead at the break courtesy of Paddy Barrett’s strike from the edge of the area midway through the first half and the defender made it 4-0 with another long range shot ten minutes after the restart.
Kurtis Byrne then put the icing on the cake with a fifth late on.
