Garryowen will take on City of Armagh in the 2019 Bateman Cup final on Saturday 20 April at St. Mary’s College RFC, Templeville Road (kick-off 12.30pm). 

Lansdowne’s Bateman Cup title defence was ended in dramatic fashion at Dooradoyle as Liam Cronin’s 79th-minute try earned Garryowen a gritty 14-12 semi-final win and a prized place in the All-Ireland decider.
