All Ireland cup draw

Donemana will be hoping youngster William McBrine can shine during this year's RSA Irish Senior Cup.

Newly promoted Ardmore face a daunting trip to North County, the most successful side in the competition’s 32 year history with five wins.

Another North West side with a difficult hurdle is Glendermott, who are in the road to Skerries to challenge 2012 winners The Hills. Waringstown, who won the last of their three titles in 2011, ending a 16-year NCU drought in the event, have home advantage over newly promoted Terenure.

Another three times winner from the NCU, Lurgan, face 1998 champions Strabane, while St Johnston, the first team from the NW to win the event back in 1987, take on CSNI at Stormont.

Fox Lodge entertain 2009 winners Leinster, while Brigade, victorious in 1996 and 99, face 1986 champions Phoenix. Staying in the NW, Eglinton entertain NCU kingpins North Down, who were triumphant in 1989, 93 and 95, but whose recent record in the competition doesn’t do themselves justice.

North West Premiership league champions Coleraine play host to CIYMS, while Bready, beaten finalists in 1995 face Ballymena, who made their sole final appearance back in 1998.

The draw was also made for the RSA National Cup, with the stand-out tie being holders Malahide, who must travel to the NW, where they will play Ballyspallen.

Other fixtures which capture the imagination are last year’s beaten finalists Derriaghy who face Creevedonnell, and 2012 runners-up Balbriggan who have home advantage over Newbuildings.

The first round ties in both competitions will take place on Saturday, May 10th, with the reserve date being set for Sunday, May 25th
