I made the trip to Enniskillen on Saturday to catch the U18 Girls Interprovincial friendly between Ulster and Connacht as the teams get ready for the Interpro Series starting this Saturday.

The match was played over 3 periods of 25 minutes immediately after a heavy downpour.

Ulster were slow out of the blocks in the first period with poor handling and a rugged defence from Connacht keeping them pinned in their own half.

Connacht turned the pressure into points with two tries from theri impressive No 8 Roisin Power either side of a try from their fullback Emily Foley to give Connacht a 0 – 17 lead with Jemma Lees adding a conversion.
