Bohemians, fresh from their recent European adventure, face a tricky away tie to Drogheda United in next month's FAI Carlsberg Cup quarter-finals.

Stephen Kenny's league champions had to come from behind to beat Drogheda in a recent league game at O2 Park and the Dubliner appreciates the difficulty of the task at hand.

"We were up there the other week and it's a tough ground. We're going to be up against it," he said.

Bohemians eased past Skerries Town (3-0) in the previous round but Kenny is aware that Drogheda - 2-0 winners over UCD in round three - will prove a more formidable task.
