The two Munster qualifiers, Clonmel and Waterpark, will have home advantage in the All-Ireland Junior Cup quarter-finals following the draw for the last-eight matches, which was made at IRFU HQ. All games will take place on Saturday week (November 10) at 2.30pm.
The two Munster qualifiers, Clonmel and Waterpark, will have home advantage in the All-Ireland Junior Cup quarter-finals following the draw for the last-eight matches, which was made at IRFU HQ. All games will take place on Saturday week (November 10) at 2.30pm.
Ashbourne, who began their title defence with a 57-point hammering of Westport, face a quarter-final trip to Waterpark whose first Junior Cup appearance in nine years saw them defeat cup debutants Carrickfergus. Alex Molloy was their hat-trick hero in a 37-7 first round victory.
All four Leinster clubs advanced to the last-eight, and there is a mouth-watering Leinster derby to look forward to as 2014 and 2016 Junior Cup champions Enniscorthy have been drawn at home to Dundalk, the 2015 winners who edged out Instonians 17-14 thanks to Darragh Conroy's brilliant last-minute penalty.
Dundalk came from 14 points to defeat Inst, and Enniscorthy, who had tries from Jack Kelly (2), Ivan Jacob, Killian Lett and Arthur Dunne, erased an 18-5 deficit to win 32-18 away to Richmond and reach the quarter-final stage for an incredible sixth time in seven years. Declan O'Brien and Kieran Hurrell's men were 31-10 winners when they hosted Dundalk in the Leinster League last month.
Clonmel are through to their third quarter-final in four years, which will see them host Belfast side CIYMS who were semi-finalists back in 2014. Dylan Cadogan scored 16 points, including two tries, in Clonmel's 36-24 win at Creggs, while CIYMS scored 32 points in knocking out Connacht League Division 1A leaders Monivea.
Ballyclare, the Ulster Championship pacesetters, also saw off Connacht opposition to set up a home tie with Wicklow. Out-half Robbie Reid impressed with a 16-point haul, including a a well-taken 15th-minute try and two closing penalties, in Ballyclare's 21-10 success in Connemara.
Wicklow dominated from start to finish at Ashtown Lane as they ended Kilfeacle & District's interest in this year's competition. Runners-up just nine months ago, Kilfeacle fell to a 52-3 defeat with full-back Ben Porter and winger Dean Leonard both bagging braces for George Naoupu's charges.
The four winners of the November 10 quarter-finals - extra-time will be played if a match ends in a draw - will progress to the semi-finals which are down for decision on Saturday, December 15. This season's final has been scheduled for Saturday, January 26.
