Ray Kelly scored twice for Bohs in the second half (Roddy Collins was the manager) a great performance from Mochtas on the night.
Yeah Mochtas played Bohs as far as I recall a couple of years. Didn't disgrace themselves either.

Its easy to shout abuse at the ref - how would you like it if he did it back?
I was at that match, the Mochtas support was phenomenal, completely out-sang the Boez. Not so long before that Bohs had beaten Mochtas by 7 or 8 goals in Porterstown, so the achievement in Dalymount was made extra special.
The sports team from my area is superior to the sports team from your area.
Drumcondra won the cup in 1927 as a non league team. They beat Brideville after a replay.
portmarnock beat dundalk in the aul complex before losing to longford in tolka in the quarters.i think it was a late own goal or a last minute winner.didnt longford get to the final that year and got beat by bohs??

Wayside Celtic took Bohs to a replay last year and narrowly lost in that game. They were a decent enough side who had a plan and stuck to it. Tbh, I'd say they were unlucky not to have progressed.
I got no lips I got no bones where there
were eyes there's only space
Portmarnock also did well - think it was in 2003IIRC I think they made the quarters!
EDIT: just seen Blue Man's post

Who Cares?!
Midleton knocked out cup holders Bray in 1991.
Mervue United beat Longford Town in the 1980s and also
drew with Sligo Rovers in the 1990s.
Cobh Ramblers had an excellent record as a non-league team in the
FAI Cup. They beat Galway Rovers in the late '70s and also had that
epic semi-final run in 1983.
Yes.
Also, Malahide United forced us to a replay in the F.A.I. cup last season.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

Surely the best one off performance by a non-league club has to be Drumcondra (then non-league) beating Athlone 9-3, away, in 1928!
Incidentally Dundalk hold the record for most losses to non-league opposition. We've managed it 6 times, including Portmarnock in 2002 and Ashtownvilla in 91- when we went on to win the league.
I'd have to go back to the Cobh Ramblers 1982/83 non lge side, they beat us (defending lge champions 1-0 in Cobh in rd 1) then got all the way to the semi finals taking Sligo to 3 replays, finaly losing the 4th. Sligo won the final that year.
Sligo/Cobh fans correct me if i`m wrong about this.
Ans Seand thats correct, we have that unwanted record of 6 times beaten by non lgers.

St.Francis beating Bohs 1-0 in the cup -semi in Tolka... still recall it like it was yesterday sitting in the stand in Tolka watching pineapple face O'Neill (has there ever been a thread for nominations of the ugliest player ever ?)squirming and twisting as the ball went by him for the goal.... then watching all the Bohs fans (as is their norm) sheepishly leaving early....
Super dayThat without a doubt was the best result from a non league side in living memory. A Cup semi with the league side raging favourites but boez blowing up once again when they saw the green and white.
KOH
Pegasus got to the semis in 1977, but I dunno if they beat anyone big on the way.
Don't think they got that far, did they?
Was it Dundalk knocked them out in the end? The game that convinced Man Utd to sign Kevin Moran...
I thought they did.
Up to the mid 80's, there were generally only 16 sides in the FAI Cup, so epic runs to the semi-final could involve beating Thurles Town and Galway Rovers.
Pegasus were knocked out by Dundalk in the First Round in 1976/77. They did however win the Intermediate Cup that season.
2004 FAI Cup.
Rockmount AFC hammered Monaghan United 2-0 and then drew 2-2 away to high flying Waterford United in the quarter final where they were raped by the referee disallowing 2 perfectly good goals on the night. Lost the replay 2-1.
It was fun.
The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.
The Ramblers cup run of 83 is unlikely to be bettered IMO. Losing out to the eventual winners in the semi's after 2 replays and knocking the mighty Dundalk team of the time out on the way.
