What a night for Dundalk.

The airtricity League champions defeated BATE Borisov 3-0 in Tallaght to win the tie 3-1 on aggregate.

Two headed goals from Dave McMillan and an injury-time strike from Robbie Benson means that the Lillywhites are now just one step away from a place in the Champions League group stages.

The club now stands to earn a massive €7,000,000.

The result also guarantees the group stages of the Europa League at a minimum.

You can see the three goals here.

And this was the reaction of Dundalk boss Stephen Kenny

Celtic will also be aiming to join Dundalk in this Friday's draw.

The pair played-out a 1-all draw in Kazakhstan last week after Leigh Griffiths bagged a precious away goal for the Hoops.

In the Premier Under 21 hurling championship last night Glen rovers defeated Mallow 1-14 to 1-13.

Tonight in the same competition Ballinhassig take on Na Piarsaigh at 6.15.
