A strong Carrick side came away from the Dub with a 15  – 0 victory against Queen’s Ladies. The seasiders now face Cavan in the Semi-Final of the Rosie Stewart Cup.

The match kicked off as 12 aside due to Queen’s being unable to field a full squad and Carrick quickly went on the attack with Jenna McCammon sprinting from her own half to score on the right.

A series of injuries weakened Queen’s further and Carrick grabbed another try through Hilary Cawood with the veteran forcing her way over the line after a period of sustained pressure.

Suzie Cavan capped a strong performance when she dove over the line for Carrick’s third try but shortly after the match was called as a win for Carrick after a third Queen’s player was unable to continue having received an accidental blow to the head.

Some Carrick players swapped sides and the remainder of the game was played as a friendly.
