DERRY CITY last night installed themselves as red-hot favourites to win the FAI Cup.
A decade since their last success in the competition, they saw off 10-man Shamrock Rovers in extra-time - and could even afford a first-half Will Patching miss from the penalty spot.
In the end, it was two former Hoops players who scored the crucial goals to send the Candystripes into the last-four along with Shelbourne and First Division outfits Waterford and Treaty United.
