February 2020 Energia AIL Try Of The Month Winners
There are two new winning clubs to add to the Energia All-Ireland League Try Of The Month list for the 2020/2021 season.
Nenagh Ormond get the nod for the first time ever after their efforts in an all-Tipperary clash in Division 2A of the Energia All-Ireland League. Fionn McGibney’s outrageous cross-field kick against Cashel was collected and finished by Conor O’Brien.
Conditions were inclement in many of February’s games, but that didn’t stop teams like Old Belvedere from putting on a show. Nichola Fryday’s try against Suttonians was a brilliant example of how to keep the ball alive with pace in difficult conditions.
🏆 February 2020 Women’s #EnergiaAILTry Of The Month Winner: Nichola Fryday (Old Belvedere)
🏆 February 2020 Men’s #EnergiaAILTry Of The Month Winner: Conor O’Brien (Nenagh Ormond)
€250 goes to both with thanks to Energia – the official energy partner to Irish Rugby. The winning tries are then eligible to win the Try of The Season award.
You can view the February shortlist for both competitions here.

January 2020 Energia AIL Try Of The Month Winners
There’s a fresh look to the January winners of the Energia All-Ireland League Try Of The Month competition.
A Dungannon player has won the men’s award for the first time, while a UL Bohemian’s rookie is the women’s winner.
Dungannon drew with Belfast Harlequins in a tight Ulster derby in Division 2B on January 11th. Peter Cashel ran onto Andrew McGregor’s perfectly weighted chip for the vital score and earns his side the January nod.
🏆 January 2020 Men’s #EnergiaAILTry Of The Month Winner: Peter Cashel (Dungannon)
Alana McInerney is in her debut season with UL Bohemian. The Clare teen scored her first try for the club before Christmas and was on the end of the winning try for January in a home win over Railway Union.
Chloe Pearse won a turnover and made a surging break from the half-way line to put UL Bohs on the front foot and two more teammates got hands on the ball to give McInerney the space to finish out wide. The December round of action in the Energia Women’s All-Ireland League was included in January’s submissions.
🏆 January 2020 Women’s #EnergiaAILTry Of The Month Winner: Alana McInerney (UL Bohemian)
€250 goes to both with thanks to Energia – the official energy partner to Irish Rugby. The winning tries are then eligible to win the Try of The Season award.

October 2019 Energia AIL Try Of The Month Winners
Jenni Burke’s try for Blackrock College against Galwegians in the opening round is a worthy winner for the Women’s Energia All-Ireland League while the men’s award goes to Scott Finlay for his role in Malone’s superb effort against Banbridge in Division 1B.
Burke showed good support and acceleration to score at Stradbrook, but the credit for Blackrock’s try must go to Hannah O’Connor. The number 8 collected a kick-off and danced from her own 10 metre line up to the 22 with a stunning kick-fake along the way. O’Connor went on to make her Ireland debut against Wales last week.
🏆 October 2019 Women’s #EnergiaAILTry Of The Month Winner: Jenni Burke (Blackrock College)
Scott Finlay was one of four players involved in Malone’s award winning try. October 19th was a good day all round for the Creggagh Red Sox as they bagged their first win in Division 1B of the Energia All-Ireland League for new Head Coach Chris Henry.
Ryan Clarke started the move with a break in midfield before switching inside to second row partner Matthew Dalton. Dalton, is in his third year with the Ulster Rugby Academy, scooped an offload to the onrushing Connor Spence to dink through for Finlay’s diving finish.
Both winners receive €250 with thanks to Energia, title sponsors of the Energia All-Ireland League. They also go forward for the Try Of The Season award.
🏆 October 2019 Men’s #EnergiaAILTry Of The Month Winner: Scott Finlay (Malone)
