The draw for the Connacht Junior Cup 2016/17 took place in front of a fantastic crowd in the Sportsground on Friday 25/11/2016. Attendee’s from all 27 Connacht clubs were invited to the draw for the showpiece competition and turnout did not disappoint.

There was no doubt over the draw of the night however as the top 2 teams in J1A, Ballina and Connemara, drew each other in the last 16.
