THEREโ€™S an attractive fixture in the FAI Cup on Sunday when Pike Rovers welcome Lisnagry to Crossagalla.

In the same competition, Hyde Rangers stunned home outfit Mungret Regional 5-3 (AET) at the weekend.

Pa Aherne (Mungret) and Evan Shine (Hyde) both netted memorable hat-tricks, but additional goals for Hyde from Dylan Meehan (2) counted more as the Premier A side pulled-off a notable scalp.

Elsewhere on Sunday, thereโ€™s action in the Premier League with leaders (with a game in hand on Pike) Aisling Annacotty lining out against Regional United, Geraldines challenging Charleville, Nenagh taking on Ballynanty Rovers, and Newport clashing with Carew Park.
