Enniscorthy<\/strong>\u00a0are aiming to lift the trophy for the second time in three years, following on from\u00a0their maiden success against Clogher Valley at Coolmine RFC in February 2014.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

They face Ulster opposition once again in next February’s final, with\u00a0Instonians<\/strong>\u00a0having successfully negotiated their way through to the decider in their very first year in the competition.<\/p>\n

Wilbur Leacock’s<\/strong>\u00a0Inst accounted for Clogher on a 30-20 scoreline in last Saturday’s semi-finals, while Enniscorthy were 23-5 winners at home to Bangor. Catch up on\u00a0a full round-up of the action here.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the first time the All-Ireland Junior Cup final will be held at\u00a0Ashbourne RFC.<\/strong>\u00a0Other clubs who have hosted it include Buccaneers RFC (2007-2010; 2012), St. Mary’s College RFC (2011), Cill Dara RFC (2013), Coolmine RFC (2014), and Portadown RFC (2015).<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Ulster Bank<\/em>-sponsored competition has been a springboard to further success for several previous winners and finalists – the likes of Armagh, Tullamore, Rainey Old Boys, City of Derry and Dundalk have all gone on to gain promotion to the Ulster Bank League.<\/p>\n
