In a repeat of last year’s final Railway Union retained the Jacqui Potter Cup at Grange Road on Saturday with a 3-0 defeat of UCD, Niamh Carey and Nina Heisterkamp putting them on course with first half goals before Sarah Whelan sealed the victory with another score six minutes from time. Duke twice came close to pulling a goal back for UCD, Katie O’Hogan in the Railway goal denying her, while Cassin saved from a Lloyd reverse strike to keep the score at 2-0. Whelan, though, put the game beyond the students when she converted after a rebound from Cassin, a superb save from O’Hogan denying UCD a late consolation score. Railway Union: K O’Hogan, K Lloyd, K Fearon, K Orr, S Whelan, N Carey, O Fox, N Shaw, M Carey, N Heistercamp, L Paul. UCD: C Cassin, S Twomey, K Egan, B Barr, S Clarke, A Russell, A Richardson, E Russell, O Patton, S Young, S Robinson.
