Rock Women Return to Winning Ways

Blackrock College returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion, serving up a 50-0 beating to Suttonians at the JJ McDowell Memorial Grounds.

Ireland back rower Hannah O’Connor starred with a 20-point contribution made up of two tries and five conversions.

There were braces too for Mairead Holohan and Ireland Sevens starlet Anna Doyle. Two more players who came up through the Ireland Under-18 Sevens pathway, Aoibheann Reilly and Eimear Corri, had a try each.

Corri scored the try of the game, breaking free up the right wing before cutting in past the final defender to extend the lead to 43 points.

Leinster captain Christy Haney soon broke from halfway with a strong fend, sucked in a couple of defenders and offloaded brilliantly out of a tackle for Holohan to go in under the posts.
