Few thoughts from today’s AIL finals:

- The standard of the women’s game was excellent
- Bohs trio Chisom Ugwueru, Kate Flannery and Aoife Corey should be in the Ireland mix soon
- Cork Con are deserving champions/James Taylor is a baller
- Double header was a great idea

Nerveless James Taylor delivers 18-point haul that steers Cork Constitution to AIL title with win over Terenure

Attendance of 7,768 for today's double-header AIL finals at the Aviva Stadium. Was 8,642 last year.

Outstanding Chisom Ugwueru hat-trick and impressive Kate Flannery lead UL BOHEMIAN RFC to AIL Women’s final victory over Railway Union

Chisom Ugwueru is absolutely electric out wide for Bohs.

She surely can't be too far away from getting a look-in with Ireland. #EnergiaAIL

Lindsay Peat looks like she could still do a job for Ireland.

She's having a brilliant game from No 8 for Railway Union.

History at the Aviva Stadium - first ever women’s AIL final to be played at the home of Irish rugby #EnergiaAIL

Great to chat to Cian Tracey ahead of tomorrow’s AIL Final. Exam done and ready to go! Thanks again

Billy Scannell has had an interesting rugby journey up to now - enjoyed catching up with the Cork Constitution hooker ahead of tomorrow’s AIL final:

It’s been a season of change at Railway Union RFC but the club is still at the forefront of driving women’s rugby.

Spoke to Railway’s new head coach Stephen Costelloe about the good work that’s happening on and off the pitch.
