Draw sets a challenge for Munster clubs

THE draw for the first round of the Irish Junior Cup pairs cup holders Lisnagarvey II and the 2002 winners Pembroke Wanderers in what should be the match of the round.

Another top match to look forward to is the meeting of Three Rock Rovers II and Cork Harlequins II in Dublin.

Overall, yesterday’s draw has given some difficult matches to Munster clubs. Bandon face a long trip north to play Raphoe II, while the winners of the Midleton-UCC II match, which takes place at Midleton College tomorrow, (12 noon), will have to travel to play North Down II.
