No club has lifted the Energia Women’s All Ireland League trophy more times than UL Bohemian but captain Chloe Pearse feels it is high time the Munster club added a 14th title to their tally.

This Sunday’s match-up against Dublin rivals Railway Union, the first AIL Women’s decider to take place at Aviva Stadium, sees table-topping Bohs meet a team playing its fourth final in succession. Second-placed finishers this season, Railway, led by Niamh Byrne, have won two of those, in 2019 and 2022 but fell at the last 12 months ago, going down 27-7 to Blackrock at Donnybrook’s Energia Park.
