Irish Junior Cup previews...

The Irish Junior Cup reaches round 2 this weekend with 30 matches to be decided. Last year’s ESB IJC winners Old Alex welcome Randalstown to St Andrews as they are still without a ‘home’ ground while Hermes will be on the other pitch there against Lurgan. Runners-up Bray play Victorians. The Wicklow side are currently riding high in division 2 after promotion last season. Railway Union 2 will be hoping to emulate their 1sts performance in the ISC.


In the men’s, the highlight is definitely Pembroke against Lisnagarvey. Pembroke won 4-o en route to the title last year and have won every game they have played since.
