A Grace Davitt inspired Cooke romped to a 68 – 5 win against AIL 2S League Winners Shannon in the AIL1 Promotion Play Off Semi Final at Ashbourne Rugby Club on Sunday afternoon. Cooke now face AIL 2C winners Co Carlow in the Play Off Final next Sunday at a venue to be decided.

Editor’s Note 21 June 2020. [The match against Co Carlow was conceded by Carlow and with a reorganization of the league both Cooke and Queen’s University RFC progressed to the AIL 1 for the 2015-16 Season.]

Davitt, who last week announced her retirement from International Rugby, rolled back the years to inspire Cooke, in this high scoring win, pulling the strings from outhalf and leading the line in defence, with some characteristic big hits in the opening minutes. Cooke raced to a 17 point lead with tries from Eliza Downey, Grace Davitt and scrum half Shannon Davidson before Shannon got on the scoreboard with a breakaway try.
