Queen’s University and Malone women’s teams met in the 2023 Junior Cup final at Ravenhill early easter Monday afternoon. With the early kick off the teams missed the worst of the weather and, to their credit, they produced a very entertaining game.
Both teams looked to attack from kick off. Malone opted for the short direct route with scrum half Shirelle Wilson taking quick taps to keep her team on the front foot, and Queen’s looked to go wide but, for the opening 10 minutes the teams cancelled each other out.
Malone got the first breakthrough just shy of the 15 minute mark when, the always excellent, Lauren Maginnes battled over out wide, after a period of pressure in the Queen’s 22, to give Malone a 0 – 5 lead.
