Women's All Ireland League round-up: St Mary's win first away game
The first half was a dogged, determined affair with a depleted St Mary’s pack chipping in with the epic defensive efforts, cutting off Cooke’s attackers at every pass. It was the home side who had the first try of the game too with Saidbhe O’Riordan converting from Ireland international Orla Fitzsimons.
“It took us a while to wear them down,” said Grace Davitt, coach of the victorious team. “We put in a good team performance and although the score didn’t reflect it, we put in a good showing against Old Belvedere last week which helped bring back some of the belief into the team.”
