The second semi-final in Monday’s draw at Kingspan Stadium will be an all Western affair with Clogher Valley taking on Enniskillen.
Clogher, who are locked in a promotion battle at the top of Kukri Championship Two currently, were comfortable enough winners over Championship One side Portadown, 33-12, in the last eight.
Clogher have enjoyed Towns’ Cup success over recent seasons, last winning it in 2014 losing out in the 2015 showpiece.
