Lansdowne and Clontarf earn home advantage

Table-toppers Lansdowne and defending champions Clontarf will have home advantage in the Division 1A semi-finals after a tumultuous final day in the Ulster Bank League.

Next weekend’s semi-final clashes will pit Lansdowne against fourth-placed Cork Constitution, and Clontarf will host third-ranked Young Munster at Castle Avenue.

With top-scoring winger Daniel McEvoy notching his 11th league try, Lansdowne finished top on scoring difference after a 40-17 bonus-point dismissal of lowly Garryowen, who will host Old Wesley in a play-off on Sunday.
