The third Round of the FAI Junior Cup took centre stage on Sunday and it proved a day of mixed fortunes for teams from the Roscommon and District league.

Moore United travelled to the Sligo Leitrim Super League side Strand Celtic and came away with a 4 – 2 win after extra time.

Skyvalley Rovers were beaten 6 - 0 away to the Mayo Champions Westport United. The visitors were well in the game early on but conceded two very soft scores midway through the half and never really recovered.

Division 1 joint leaders Brazukas beat Ballyhaunis 2 – 1 at Roscommon. It was a great performance from the Brazilian side with Marcos and Marcello scoring their goals in the first half.
