Women's All Ireland League

AIL: Boh’s edge Railway in thrilling replay

What’s going on here? A women’s club match not featuring an Ulster team!

As I was down in Limerick with my new camera for the Ulster Rugby game I thought I’d go along and cover this Women’s All Ireland League Semifinal replay at UL Bohs. The pot was somewhat sweetened as Railway were featuring two Ulster players in Nikki Caughey and Larissa Muldoon.

I’m glad I made the effort as it was a good quality game, played at a good pace, on 4G pitches at Limerick University – though the pitches themselves took some finding!

Aine Saunton had a great game for Ul Bohs.

Railway looked to have the better of the opening exchanges but Boh’s worked their way back into the game over the first quarter and Fiona Hayes opened the scoring with a try on 20 minutes.

The score sparked the game to life and within minutes wing forward Meg Kendall crossed for Railway to level the score at 5 all.

Boh’s crossed again ten minutes later with Edel Murphy finding the line, the full back converting her own score to give Boh’s a 12 – 5 lead at the break.

Railway were the only side to score in the second half with winger Emer O’Mahony crossing out wide after a series of driving plays from the visitors. However the conversion was missed to leave Boh’s with a two point lead.

Unfortunately for our Ulster girls that’s the way it stayed despite some excellent play from both sides.

Final score: UL Bohemians 12 Railway Union 10
