Tolka Rovers and Waterford United will meet again at the RSC on Tuesday night after their FAI Cup 2nd Round tie finished in a 2-2 draw at Frank Cooke Park tonight.

Despite Leinster Senior League side Tolka starting better, it was Waterford who took the lead when Vinny Sullivan found the net for his fourth goal of the season on 26 minutes. He powered the ball home from Robert Brosnan's setup to open the scoring.

A lack of composure in front of goal saw Tolka waste at least one good chance to level after the break. However, they were level with twenty minutes to go when Ray Whelehan fired home a volley from the edge of the box.

Waterford still looked set to avoid any slip-ups when they regained their lead within sixty seconds as Dave Warren fired home his first goal for the club from long distance.

However, Waterford couldn't close out the win and after failing to clear after a scramble in the area, a loose ball struck Waterford's John Hayes before finding the net and making it 2-2.

Tolka Rovers : Cranley, Meleady, B Kelly (Garavan 69), P Quinn, Cummins, Barbour, Kearns, Whelehan, Maher, D Kelly (Doyle 80), McCarthy (G Quinn 69).
Waterford United : Delaney, O'Flynn, Hedderman, Browne, Hayes, Warren, Mulcahy, McCarthy, Sullivan, Harte (Kavanagh 54), Brosnan (Scully 72).
