Connacht's Shannon Touhey said it was 'the cream on top of the cake' to come from nine points down and beat Leinster 18-17 in a thrilling Vodafone Women's Interprovincial Championship opener.

The westerners got their campaign off to a blistering start at the Sportsground, securing only their second ever Interpro win over Leinster. They visit defending champions Munster at Musgrave Park next Saturday.
