Curran Coleman And McInerney Continue Try-Scoring Form In #EnergiaAIL

Galwegians winger Kila Curran Coleman and UL Bohemian and Munster star Alana McInerney have emerged as the leading scorers in the Energia All-Ireland League Women’s Division.

It is five tries in three matches for Curran Coleman, who came off the bench to bag a late brace away to Tullow last Saturday. Table toppers Galwegians are on the road to Belfast this weekend to face Cooke.

Joining her on 25 points at the top of the scoring charts is McInerney. Following up on her hat-trick against Railway Union, the Ennis native touched down in each half during UL’s home win over Old Belvedere.

Averaging 46.33 points per game, Galwegians had a classy four-try contribution from centre Niamh Murphy at Blackgates. Ireland dual international Vicky Elmes Kinlan crossed twice for Wicklow against Ennis, moving her onto four tries for the campaign.

The group of players with three tries has grown with Munster captain Maeve Óg O’Leary chipping in with a double for Blackrock College at Railway Union, while ‘Wegians’ flurry of scores included a hat-trick from Ireland Under-20 starlet Emily Foley.

It is a try per match so far for UL Bohs prop Eilís Cahill, the division’s Player of the Year for 2024/25. The 23-year-old has been in prolific form since the start of last season, scoring 21 tries in as many appearances.

Ballincollig captain Aoife Madigan continues to lead by example, notching her third try during their opening victory of the season over Cooke. Galwegians centre Jemma Lees impressed with the boot in Carlow, firing over seven conversions for a 14-point haul.

Meanwhile, there will be live coverage of the Old Belvedere-Wicklow clash on irishrugby+ this Saturday (kick-off 5pm). Fiona Hayes’ Belvedere side are aiming to bounce back at Ollie Campbell Park after defeats to Blackrock and Bohs.
