The Energia All-Ireland League Finals day takes place in Aviva Stadium on Sunday, April 26th. The finals represents the pinnacle of the club game in Ireland.

The Women’s Division final kicks off at 1:30pm, with last season's winners, UL Bohemian, facing 2022/23 winners Blackrock. Rock Captain Hannah O’Connor is a familiar figure from the club, provincial and international scene and will lead out our women's team on Sunday as ‘Rock aim to stop UL Bohs push for three in a row. Watch her interview at the Finals Launch online: Hannah's Interview.

Hannah was part of the Blackrock side that last won the title in the 2022/23 season, as seen in the photo below. This year she will lead the team out at Aviva Stadium for their first appearance in the decider since that win.

Rock's recent AIl win in 2022/23

These two clubs have won the most titles in the Women’s Division with Blackrock on 6, but this is their first clash in the final since 2010.Blackrock were the standard bearers in the early days of the league winning four out the first five finals between 1993 and 1997. Their next trophy came in 2008 sandwiched between eight wins for Sunday’s opponents UL Bohs. ‘Rock had competed in four other finals in that time. Suffice to say there’s history between these two sides.

O’Connor hopes that her team can write a new page in that history come the final whistle.
