J1A's top two to meet in Connacht Junior Cup quarter-finals
The quarter-final draw for the 2020 Connacht Junior Cup has thrown up a repeat pairing of last year's final with Connemara taking on Creggs in the last eight.
 
Connemara who are reigning J1A league and Junior Cup holders are aiming for a historic back-to-back double, with the Clifden side six points clear of Creggs at the top of J1A with a game in hand.
 
The two sides learned their fate after coming through their Round of 16 ties over the weekend, with Connemara seeing off Loughrea 15-6 while Creggs defeated Westport 16-9.
 
That game is the only all-J1A tie of the quarter-finals. Castlebar who are 4th in J1A will play host to Corrib, Monivea make the trip to Corinthians while Buccaneers play host to Ballinrobe.
 
All the quarter-finals take place this Sunday 19th January with kick-offs at 2pm.
