The draw will be conducted by Bernard O’Byrne, Basketball Ireland CEO, along with National League manager Sheena Hubbard.
Also in attendance will be representatives from the defending men’s (Pat Duffy Cup) and women’s (Paudie O’Connor Cup) champions - Griffith College Templeogue captain Stephen James and Pyrobel Killester co-captain Mimi Clarke.
They will both appear on ‘Game On’ to discuss the draw and look ahead to the new basketball season.
Bernard O’Byrne said: “We are delighted to confirm the date for the Cup draw, as we begin to ramp up preparations for the new season. The history of the Cup and prestige of the competition is without question and having ‘Game On’ covering the draw is a great initiative.
