For Pegasus, they got the better of their Ulster rivals 4-2 thanks in large part to Alex Speers’ driving influence.
She scored the first inside 45 seconds before setting up goals from Kate McConnell and Suzanne Ferris. Steph Thompson made it 4-1 from the penalty spot before Jess McMaster got one back at the end.
It meant Pegs ended second overall, a fine comeback after they took five games to register their first win of the campaign.
Railway will join them in the playoffs thanks to their narrow 2-1 win over Dublin 4 rivals Pembroke.
