Here's the quarter-final draws for the Leinster and Munster Schools Senior Cups

St Andrew’s College booked their place in the pot this afternoon.

THE SURPRISE PACKAGE of last year’s Leinster Schools Cup, St Andrew’s College, booked their place in the second round of this year’s competition with a convincing win over The King’s Hospital in Donnybrook today.

The Booterstown school will now face Newbridge College in the next round after the quarter-final draw was made in Old Wesley RFC following Andrews’ 40-10 win.

Defending champions Blackrock, who beat Terenure on Sunday, will face Cistercian College Roscrea while ten-time winners Belvedere were paired with CBC Monkstown.

The stand-out tie of the round, however, is the meeting of pre-tournament favourites St Michael’s and last year’s runners-up Clongowes Wood.
