Energia All-Ireland League Try Of The Month Winners For January Announced
There’s a fresh look to the January winners of the Energia All-Ireland League Try Of The Month competition.
A Dungannon player has won the men’s award for the first time, while UL Bohemian’s rookie Alana McInerney is the women’s winner.
Dungannon drew with Belfast Harlequins in a tight Ulster derby in Division 2B on January 11th. Peter Cashel ran onto Andrew McGregor’s perfectly weighted chip for the vital score and earns his side the January nod.
Alana McInerney is in her debut season with UL Bohemian. The Clare teen scored her first try for the club before Christmas and was on the end of the winning try for January in a home win over Railway Union.
Chloe Pearse won a turnover and made a surging break from the half-way line to put UL Bohs on the front foot and two more team mates got hands on the ball to give McInerney the space to finish out wide. The December round of action in the Energia Women’s All-Ireland League was included in January’s submissions.
