Newbridge Town's reward for last Friday's win over Whitehall Rangers is a plumb home draw against Dublin giants Bohemians in the quarter-final of the Sports Direct Women's FAI Cup Quarter-Final.
Brian Kaye's team will make history as the first Kildare team to play at this stage of the competition.
Bohemians qualified for the last eight by beating a Wexford team who contained a cousin of Kaye's, Lauren Kelly, 2-1 in Ferrycarrig Park. They currently sit ninth in the Womens National League.
Newbridge, the only non-National League side left in the cup, were drawn at home for their first round tie but ongoing work on the pitch at Station Road meant the game was played at the home of Peamount Utd but with the quarter-finals not due to be played until the weekend ending Sunday 17 August it is thought there will be no issue with the pitch or hosting the game at home.
Elsewhere in the draw, the glamour tie pitted holders Shelbourne against Shamrock Rovers.
Two-time Cup winners Peamount United will come up against last year's runners-up Athlone Town, while DLR Waves will face Treaty United.
This year's Final will take place on Sunday, October 19th and will be broadcast live on TG4.
