The Wolfhounds broke the 100-point barrier with a record win, as Saturday's final round hammering of Edinburgh Rugby at Energia Park earned them their second successive Celtic Challenge title.

Ulster's Claire Boles lifted the title as Wolfhounds captain, with Ulster players Brittany Hogan, Maebh Clenaghan, Lauren Farrell McCabe, Ella Durkan and Ballymena RFC's Sophie McAllister were all involved in the final round squad.
Winning the championship was a proud moment for Neill Alcorn, with the Ulster coach helping coach the side to victory in his first season as Head Coach.
Needing a ninth victory of the campaign to stay clear of the chasing Clovers, Alcorn’s side sealed a top of the table finish with an ultra-clinical 16-try performance against a young, injury-hit Edinburgh outfit.
Flying full-back Amy Larn scored the pick of the first-half tries, running back a kick from almost 80 metres out as she left her opposite number Hannah Ramsay for dead. The hosts led 50-0 at the break.
Talented teenage lock Alma Atagamen had touched down inside the opening two minutes, and Molly Scuffil-McCabe, Vicky Elmes Kinlan, Leah Tarpey, Maebh Clenaghan, and Linda Djougang also crossed, along with a penalty try from a maul.
Centre Tarpey finished with a hat-trick of tries – a tally matched by Katie Corrigan during just 25 second-half minutes – and Aoife Dalton, captain Claire Boles, and replacement Lauren Farrell McCabe added to the try haul as Edinburgh leaked 102 unanswered points.
Farrell McCabe landed four conversions to add to Dannah O’Brien’s six successful kicks, while the Wolfhounds looked most pleased to maintain their defensive shutout despite replacement Aoife Wafer’s late yellow card.
