The final will be a contest between Blackrock College and Railway Union and has been highly anticipated after a remarkably competitive season. Blackrock and Railway both prevailed in tricky semi-finals last week, over UL Bohemians and Old Belvedere respectively.
Railway will be hoping for a repeat of last year’s final, when they defeated Blackrock 24-18; if they win, they’ll have achieved three-in-a-row. But Blackrock beat Railway earlier this season, so the final is sure to be close and exciting.
