Cooke managed to get on the scoreboard with tries from Lauren Day and Grace Davitt, who also converted one, but the Shaws Bridge outfit will be looking to regroup over the two week break in the league and hope that some of their more experienced players make a return from injury.

In AIL2 Belfast Harlequins stole the show running in 13 tries in a demolition of league newcomers Barnhill. Front Row Union Player of last Season Nikki Caughey scored 29 points in total, including four tries, with Zoe Templeton, Ashleigh Baxter, Lesleyann Stirling and, South African, Ilse van Staden all adding a brace a piece . . .
