Newbridge College pitted against St Michael's in Leinster Schools Junior Cup semi-final

Newbridge will take on renowned Dublin rugby school St Michael's in the Leinster Schools Junior Cup semi-final after they were drawn against last year's runners up in the last four of the competition.

St Michael's, who lost out to Blackrock College in the 2016 decider, beat Newbridge in the final back in 2012, the last time in which a side other than Blackrock have won the Junior Cup.

The Kildare school have beaten St Mary's and Wesley College comfortably to make it to this stage, but they will be up against a strong Micheal's side as they look to continue their quest to secure just their second ever Junior Cup title, the first being won back in 1950.

The game will be played in Donnybrook this coming Monday at 3pm, while the second semi-final between Blackrock College and Belvedere College will be played the following day at the same venue.
