Rumney will be looking to defend their Blues Cup title in the Under 11s section, yet they still have to overcome Rhiwbina in the delayed Quarter Final.
Cardiff Blues Development Officer Mal Jones said, "All the teams in the semi final stage are good teams, however, the draw has pitched together a number of sides that don't play each other too often, including North v South regional clashes at each age group.
"The teams will all be looking forward to these mouth watering clashes, even though there are still one or two Quarter Final games yet to be settled due to inclement weather."
Rhiwbina themselves can claim the Under 12s title this season to add to last year's Under 11s trophy if they can defeat Mountain Ash away, while Pontypridd can also claim the Under 13s title, following their success at Under 12s last season, however they face a stern challenge when they face Rhiwnina.
