With a spot in the decider at the Aviva Stadium next weekend up for grabs, which two teams can punch their ticket for the decider. Cork Con meet Clontarf in the first semi-final at 2:30pm, the second will see Terenure College host Lansdowne at 4:30pm.

Terenure will meet Lansdowne and Cork Con will play Clontarf as the semi-final places were confirmed on the final day. At the bottom City of Armagh survived in 1A, while Shannon will need to go through the play-offs for a second year in a row if they are to remain in 1A.

It is make or break for the Men’s teams as we tick to the final normal season weekend of the year while the Women’s Division reaches its penultimate round.

The semi finals in 1A will be contested between the heavyweights of Terenure, Cork Con, Clontarf and Lansdowne, who booked their ticket with an emphatic win at the weekend. At the bottom Trinity were relegated as Shannon were bonus point winners on Sunday. That means Shannon and City of Armagh will look to avoid the relegation play-offs on the final day.
