Ulster’s sole representatives in the senior League, Cooke Women RFC, journeyed to Anglesea Road to face Old Belvedere and, despite a bright start, the Belfast side eventually went down to a 19 – 3 loss, leaving Cooke in the bottom two of the table.
Cooke opened the scoring with a Vicky Irwin penalty but the visitors left a couple of scores on the park before Old Belvedere, buoyed by the return of Sophie Spence and Jackie Shiels, cut loose in the second quarter with Millicent Cromin crossing for a brace, the first converted by Shiels.
The second half was a tight affair with a converted try from Jackie Shiels the only score.
