Genesis reward for their away-day win over Ballymena on penalty strokes sees them on the road once more in March as they travel to Limerick for the semi-finals of the Irish Hockey Trophy, courtesy of this morning's draw.
In the men's Junior Cup, no Leinster team need leave the province after Pembroke II drew division three table-toppers Corinthian II at Serpentine Avenue. Corinthian have the edge on form, having beaten the 'Broke earlier this term 5-3 but the holders showed thair true capacity with Saturday's massive win over Railway Union.
YMCA host Monkstown while Glenanne's reward, should they defeat Bangor, would be another game at St Mark's - this time against the impressive Cork C of I. It guarantees Leinster two semi-final places with Ulster assured on one as Cookstown face Raphoe in the other quarter-final.
A mirror opposite situation occurs on the women's side of the Junior Cup with Hermes and Old Alex forced to travel to Cork Harlequins and Galway respectively. The winner of the rearranged Loreto and Trinity tie must go to Cork C of I while Railway's seconds are the only Leinster team with a potential home tie but must still negotiate a trip to the Mardyke to face UCC.

pemnroke corintians tie has to be pick of the round
wrong galway old alex
YM could be a dark horse, showed alot of courage to win against TRR on sat
I see Fingal, Corinthians and the town have all played 12 games each accordining to the table.
On the Leinster website it shows remainging fixtures as:
Fingal to play 6 matches
Corinthians to play 6 matches
Town to play 5 matches
Is there a mistake in the table (games played) or do the town have 6 to play?
The fixtures for Monkstown's 1sts hasn't factored in their match against UCD, which for some reason was posted as being down to be played on December 30.
As far as I'm aware, that did not go ahead.
correct. has not yet been played. town have six to play too - this half have played ym fingal and glens.
aw its so frustating munster teams always get away draws and pembroke surprise,surprise always get home draws.The draw is being rigged im sure of it
ym, have some unfinished business against monkstown in the IJC
YM will be up for it hvaing lost to town twice in the league.
pembroke had nearly all away draws in last seasons competition!!
Cookstown 2's to win. top of the league, eased past bann and garvey in the two previous rounds and they have a great team. thom in nets is super, big strong defence, mix of experience and youth in midfield and attack with marty Sloan still a class act and Stephen Sloan and Mark Crooks providing the pace and skill. Ian Sloan has also bagged 16 goals this season including 8 dragflicks in the last 6 games.
If I was to bet on anyone, it would be CHC. They are top of the league and have three more players coming back after injury.
cofi or ctown to win both taking big scalps.
hopefully they dont meet before the final.
it certainly makes for exciting fixtures ahead.
if look at draws that pembroke men and ladies get they always get home draws
when will postponed matches in these draws be replayed?
postponed matches to be replayed this saturday.
This talk of Pembroke getting home games is a joke. Stop trying to find something to give out about about us....get over it!
3 trips up North to play one game against Instonians.....ye home draws all of the time!!!!!!!
what are glenannes junior cup team like?
So do the Glens 2nd’s have to play Bangor this weekend in IJC, as they have gotten a cancellation for there div 3 match against Monkstown 2nd as there 1st are playing ISC on Saturday? Have any other div3 matches been cancelled due to the ISC.
Glenanne's IJC game is scheduled for the 31st January. There first team play the next day in the IHL v Instonians
