Beth Buttimer Shines as Munster Dominate | Cork News

Munster blew the doors off the Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship with a 39-19 demolition of Leinster, led by Beth Buttimer’s sensational four-try haul — a performance that has her on the cusp of her Ireland senior debut. Despite Leinster fielding six rookies including flanker Grace Moore and hooker Buttimer, they trailed 15-7 at halftime after Munster’s early blitz from Buttimer and Alana McInerney. Leinster’s new captain Sarah Delaney replied with a maul try, but Munster surged ahead in the second half, even while Aoife Corey was sin-binned. Eilís Cahill and Buttimer added more tries, putting Munster 20 points up by the 60th minute. Leinster clawed back with late tries from Erin King and Hannah Wilson, but Munster answered every bell — sealing it with Katie Corrigan’s debut try and Buttimer’s fourth score. With the WXV Global Series looming, Munster are firing on all cylinders and firmly in contention for the title, while Leinster look to bounce back against Connacht — and possibly face Munster again in the final on August 29th.
