From the season Cork City won the FAI Cup. The manager's address is by DAVE BARRY: 'Today we renew Cup battles and rivalry with our old foes Derry City. They defeated us last year at the Brandywell, so we will be anxious to atone for last year's defeat. The team battled tremendously well to lay the bogey against old enemy The Gypsies (Bohs) in the first round at Dalymount Park, a team they lost to in the '92 Cup Final by 1-0. The omens are good.' He asks 'the Shed and our loyal supporters to pump up the volume'.

The teamsheet page has been completed in blue biro by someone who was at the match — shirt numbers written in against the names and the substitutes marked. Derry City's printed list includes TONY O'DOWD, Eamonn Doherty, Sean Hargan, PETER HUTTON, Paul Curran, Gavin Dykes, Tom Mohan, PAUL HEGARTY, LIAM COYLE and Gary Beckett; Cork City's includes Derek Coughlan, BRIAN BARRY-MURPHY, Noel Hartigan, Colin O'Brien, Philip Long, Mark Herrick, Stephen Napier and Dave Hill.
