LEINSTER eased into the British & Irish Cup semi-finals at a canter at Donnybrook yesterday.

GROUNDBREAKING stuff in Dublin 4. St Gerard’s have never won the Leinster Schools Senior Cup but they paid scant attention to history yesterday by seeing off defending champions and 66-time winners Blackrock in this nip-and-tuck quarter-final.

TWO of the province’s most decorated and traditional strongholds of the schools game, Blackrock College and Terenure College, meet in today’s Powerade Leinster Schools Senior Cup final at the RDS (3.30pm).
