AIB Junior Cup First Round Draw

The draw for the first round of the AIB Junior Cup took place on Wednesday in the home of defending champions Seapoint. The draw was made by IRFU President Der Healy and Anna Maria O’Reilly, Sponsorship Manager of AIB.

Seapoint, one of four clubs representing Leinster in the competition, will begin their defence of the title with a home tie against Kinsale. The draw put together a number of cross provincial ties for the opening round.

Armagh, first out of the pot, have been drawn at home to Navan, currently doing very well in the Leinster League. Tullamore will entertain Monivea while Sligo will be at home to Coleraine.

There is a mouth-watering Mayo derby to look forward as Castlebar were drawn at home to neighbours Westport, while Kanturk have been drawn at home to their fellow Corkmen Crosshaven.

Boyne will host Clonmel, while Clogher Valley have been drawn at home to fellow Ulster side Cooke.

The first round games will take place on Saturday, January 5 with 2.30pm kick-offs.
