In the Junior Schools Cup, defending champions Blackrock will go head-to-head with St Mary’s College with the two finalists from the Fr Godrey Cup earning a place in the main draw.
Setanta Sports will once again show live coverage of selected games from the senior and junior competitions before broadcasting the latter stages in full.
