Old Belvedere newcomer Dannah O’Brien and Galwegians captain Nicole Fowley are duelling it out as the leading points scorers after two rounds of the Energia All-Ireland League Women’s Division.

Meanwhile, her four-try haul last week in Cork has drawn Belvedere’s Clare Gorman level with Galwegians winger Laoise McGonagle in the try-scoring stakes.

The action continues this Saturday with Wicklow hosting UL Bohemians, Cooke travelling to Galwegians, and there are two games in the capital – the Dublin derby between ‘Belvo and Suttonians, while champions Railway Union meet Fiona Hayes’ Ballincollig side.
