St Andrew's stunned Cookstown 3-2, knocking out the title holders in the process, to claim top spot in group A. It means that no Ulster side will make it through to the semi-final stages of the competition this year as Banbridge and Wallace both missed out on goal difference.
Ashton nabbed their group in the most dramatic of fashions, Dan Hobbs scoring with their last touch of the match to draw 4-4 with last year's beaten finalists Banbridge. Hobbs and Bann's Stephen Dowds both netted drag-flick hat-tricks. The draw meant Ashton went through on goal difference.
Wesley got the better of RBAI 3-1 while Bandon picked up their first comfortable win of the competition, beating Raphoe 5-1.
The semi-final draw has kept the Leinster rivals apart with Wesley facing Bandon and Ashton up against St Andrew's. Both games get underway at 9.30am tomorrow morning.
