Dromore make it to Men’s Energia All Ireland Junior Cup semi-final

Dromore look to go one step further than last year in the All Ireland Junior Cup as they battle it out in the semi-final against Cregg’s RFC this Saturday.

From the opening whistle, the hosts stamped their authority on the contest. By half-time they held a deserved 15-0 lead.

The first half belonged to centre Dean Dillon, who crossed for two superb tries. Jonny Hunter, who was influential from the kicking tee, added a conversion and penalty to push Dromore further ahead before the break.

Enniskillen had phases of possession, but they struggled to penetrate a well-organised home defence that consistently won the collisions and slowed the breakdown.

The second half followed the same pattern, with Dromore controlling territory. Skins had their chances, but the Ryan Hughes-led home side sealed the result when Matthew Millar powered over for a try, adding to Hunter’s second penalty.

This Saturday they are on the road to Creggs, in hopes of a spot in the final. They will be going down for a battle, as Creggs had a convincing win against St. Mary’s in their quarter-final, beating them 28-60.

Dromore last made the final in 2020, and having never won this competition, this campaign would be monumental to the club.

Everyone at Ulster Rugby wishes Dromore well this weekend!
