UL Bohemian: Route To The #EnergiaAIL Final

Fiona Hayes’ side are just 80 minutes away from winning a record 15th league title for the Red Robins, who are captained again by Chloe Pearse, and have Chisom Ugwueru, the player-of-the-match in last year’s final, and Kate Flannery hitting form at the business end of the campaign.

UL Bohs came from a dozen points down to edge out Blackrock College in a semi-final arm wrestle. Their powerful pack remains a key weapon, with 23-year-old prop Eilís Cahill excelling with 17 tries, including a brace in both of their regular season games against Railway.

The Aviva Stadium will be awash with club colours this Sunday for the Energia All-Ireland League Men’s and Women’s finals double header. Tickets are on sale now from Ticketmaster.ie.
