Blackrock College versus Railway Union catches the eye as one of the ties of the last-eight.

Blackrock nocked Railway out of the 2016 competition and went on to reach the final in both 2017 and 2019. Railway Union lifted the trophy in 2018.

Galwegians came through a tough test against non-league opposition when they beat Kerry in Tralee at the weekend. They will face a similar challenge at the quarter-final stage with a trip to Belfast to take on Queen’s University.

Wicklow and Ballincollig were both non-league sides the last time this competition was played and showcased their development with wins against Cavan and OLBC respectively. Their reward is a quarter-final showdown.

The quarter-final matches will be played on the weekend of January 8, 2022, with fixture details to be confirmed.

The Energia All-Ireland Plate will be contest by the four teams knocked out of the cup quarter-finals.
