Malone RFC Women’s team missed out on promotion to the AIL after a narrow defeat to Suttonians RFC Women on Saturday afternoon at Donnybrook.

Due to a series of unfortunate events we didn’t get down to Donnybrook but we were kept up to date by Team FRU member Brittany Hogan who had a day off from her Ireland Sevens duties.

It looked for a while that it would be Malone that would go through as they led 20 – 17 at the end of the third quarter but a second try from Suttonians Nicole Purdom, converted by Sophie Gibney, pushed the Dublin side back in front with fifteen minutes to go and they were able to hold on to their four point lead with a degree of comfort.

Malone coach Grace Davitt pulled on her boots for this one and she opened the scoring after 20 minutes with a try and conversion to give the Belfast side a 7 – 0 lead,
