Blackrock 36 Cooke 24

Unfortunately we brought a big old slice of bad luck for the Belfast team as they slipped to their ninth defeat of the season going down by 36 -24 in a ten try thriller. 

Cooke went into an early lead through the hard working Lauren Maginnes, with Jemma Jackson landing an excellent conversion from out wide.
