Corrigan Chips In With Hat-Trick As Wolfhounds Win Irish Derby
The Wolfhounds lifted the Celtic Challenge trophy at Kingspan Stadium after a thrilling 47-26 bonus point win over fellow Irish side, the Clovers.
A dominant first half display left the Wolfhounds 33-7 up, and while the Clovers fought back during the closing half-an-hour, it was not enough to reel in the Molly Boyne-led table toppers.
