Ulster Bank Junior Cup Semi-Finals Refixed For Next Saturday
The two Ulster Bank All-Ireland Junior Cup semi-finals, which were postponed over the weekend, will now take place at 2.30pm next Saturday (December 19).
Heavy rain forced the postponement of both semi-finals – Enniscorthy v Bangor and Instonians v Clogher Valley – with the pitches at Ross Road and Shaw’s Bridge ruled unplayable.
The All-Ireland League Committee, at a meeting this afternoon, rescheduled the games for next Saturday afternoon, kicking off at 2.30pm.
It is a particularly busy week for Bangor and Instonians with the clubs meeting in tomorrow night’s Millar McCall Wylie Ulster Junior Cup decider at Kingspan Stadium (kick-off 7.30pm). Inst are the defending champions.
