Midlands Club's Historic FAI Cup Run Ends In Defeat To Skerries

It had been 32 years since Portlaoise landed in the FAI Cup first round.

Portlaoise's FAI Cup dream ended in a first round defeat at the hands of Skerries yesterday.

The Laois club reached the national cup's first round for the first time in 32 years after a shock win over Usher Celtic.

Skerries knocked Portlaoise out of the Intermediate FAI Cup and doubled the pain with a 3-0 win on Sunday.

The goals came courtesy of Robert McKenna, who helped himself to a brace for the Dublin side, and Josh Cullen who struck late on.
