Frazer McMullen 1/4 finals this weekend

Clontarf v UL Bohs
Dublin University v Shannon
Garryowen v Lansdowne
UCC V UCD

I was about to call you wrong as Cork Con finished 4th in the Munster Donal Walsh Cup and so should play Clontarf. Or so I thought.
But it looks like there is some sort of odd qualifier which I can't understand. Cork Con concede to UL Bohs who won the plate(2nd division). And then they play off against Bruff who are RU in the plate. So UL Bohs qualify in 4th place and therefore play Clontarf in the Fraser McMullen.
And as if that isn't confusing enough Garryowen (1st in the trophy) are beaten by 2nd place UCC. But this has no impact on the seedings for the Fraser McMullen. Confused? I know I am

Fraser McMullen Cup SF

13 April
14:30 Clontarf v UCC Castle Avenue
17:30 Lansdowne v Trinity (a double header following the AIL game between Lansdowne and Clontarf)

McCorry Cup SF
14 April
15:00 Blackrock v Terenure

21 April
15:00 Lansdowne v MU Barnhall

Its beyond me why they have 2 cup competitions running simultaneously. The Fraser McMullen qualifiers should drop out of the McCorry Cup.

FRASER MCMULLEN SEMI FINALS

Clontarf 26 - 27 UCC

Lansdowne 29 - 32 Trinity

Sounds like Clontarf missed their players who are over playing in Boston.
Trinity score a converted try in the 82 min to secure the win. A very good game played in gale force wind.
