Energia All-Ireland Women’s Junior Cup Quarter-Finals: Results Round-Up

Skibbereen made home advantage count with a 61-5 win over Westport. Head Coach Sana Govender was able to call on four of his MTU Cork players who’d claimed victory in the SSI/IRFU Women’s Tier 3 Cup on Wednesday (Jasmine Kiely, Emma Beamish, Emma Connolly, Clea Michel) and were 25-0 up at half time. Westport were resolute through out and got on the scoreboard through Claire Coughlan in the second half.

Enniskillen made the one hour trip west to Sligo boosted by the availability of Sophie Barrett, who’d backed up her performances for Ulster in the Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship with selection for Greg McWilliams’ Combined Provinces squad in the inaugural Celtic Challenge tournament.

It was the Ulster women who had their noses 5-0 in front at half time through a Zara Flack try. Barrett was next to score before Flack got her second. Sligo had a strong fourth quarter and finished the game with a penalty try for a 17-7 full time.

MU Barnhall were too strong for Queen’s University in the student double header at Dub Lane.

Tullamore are already a confirmed semi-finalist after receiving a bye.
