I’d been looking forward to catching up with Ballincollig under the new coaching ticket of Fiona Hayes. The last time we covered them, in the short lived Community Series, they went down to Kerry and there was a bit of work to do to get them AIL ready.
By the time I caught up with this match, Ballincollig were trailing 12 – 0, at the start of the second half, thanks to first half tries from Cooke’s Katie Hetherington and Ilse van Staden, plus a conversion from Amanda Morton. Cooke had them under pressure in the Ballincollig 22 and it wasn’t long before Aishling O’Connell powered over to take the score to 17 – 0 midway through the third quarter.
