We’ll be out in force this weekend for the final round of the Danske Bank Ulster Schools Cup Group fixtures.

Twenty schools teams were split into five groups of four, each team playing three games. The previous two rounds were competed on the 22nd October and 12th November and this weekend, 10th December, sees the final round of games.

The 5 group winners, and the best-placed runner-up, will qualify for the knockout stages of the Danske Bank Schools’ Cup, and the Subsidiary Shield.

These 6 teams will be joined by the following 10 seeded schools for the Round of 16 draw, which will take place in December.
