Limerick cruised into the second round of the Irish Daily Mail FAI Cup as the comprehensively defeated Cobh Ramblers at St Colman’s Park on Saturday evening.

The SSE Airtricity League Premier Division side edged into the lead after just 13 minutes when Garbhan Coughlan raced onto a long pass over the top of the Ramblers defence before calmly clipping the ball over the keeper and into the net.

Coughlan doubled his side’s advantage after 32 minutes when he fired past Paul Hunt from close range after keeper parried the ball straight to the attacker under pressure from Chiedozie Ogbene.

And Ogbene added a third for his side after 37 minutes when he coolly stroked Barry Cotter’s superb cross from the right home at the near post to seal his sides place in the draw for the next phase.
