On the other side of the draw, it will be Connacht versus Ulster, with Monivea making it through to earn a home semi final against Coleraine after defeating two Leinster sides, Skerries (8 – 9) and Coolmine (13 – 0), in the previous rounds.
Coleraine have been impressive in their round one and the quarter final wins, but this will be their first away game in the competition, as both of their previous wins came at home against Tuam (34 – 6) and Dundalk (29 – 15).
