The ALPO meteor shower list:

http://www.lpl.arizonadot edu/~rhill/alpo/meteorstuff/metshwr.html

includes ALPHA BOOTIDS (ABO), duration 04/14-05/12, maximum
04/28, RA 14:32 [218 degrees], Dec +19, radiant drift per day
3.6 degrees RA and -0.1 degree Dec; entry velocity 20 km/sec,
ZHR 2.  This would seem like a possible match, although you've
seen them a couple of weeks earlier than given on that page.
