Cup holders Ashbourne will begin their defence of the coveted Ulster Bank All-Ireland Junior Cup with a home tie against Ulster side Ballyclare as the first round of the tournament kicks off on Saturday October 28th.

This is the thirteenth season of the competition which has captured the imagination of Junior clubs and often served as a springboard to promotion to the Ulster Bank League.

Cup holders Ashbourne have been drawn at home to Ballyclare, who were knocked out at the quarter final stage last season.

Two time winners and last season’s beaten finalists Enniscorthy will travel to Newcastle West for their first round match.

Elsewhere Ballina are at home to Portadown, Enniskillen will host Bandon and Instonians are at home to Gorey.
