Two teams looking to end long droughts in the O’Connor Cup meet at the semi-final stage at MTU Cork today (1:30pm). UCC are three-time competition winners but haven’t landed the silverware since 2012, while you have to go back to 2008 for University of Ulster’s sole success.

Both sides will feel confident of making a big impact over Finals weekend, however, with plenty of inter-county talent on show.
