Mary’s Ace O’Gara The Leading Marksman In Division 1B

O’Gara’s 21-point haul helped Mary’s to pick up their first league win under Sean Cronin. He is now the competition’s leading points scorer on 25 points, lying just ahead of Highfield’s new centre Cian Bohane.

Buccaneers’ Michael Hanley (pictured below) boosted his season’s tally to 19 points with four successful kicks against Old Wesley. He is closely followed by Cork pair Daniel Squires (16) and James Taylor (15).

Bohane, the former Munster player, added to his brace of tries against Banbridge by running in two more during their narrow victory away to Naas. He has scored four of Highfield’s seven tries so far.

Chasing Bohane in the try-scoring ranks is Naas scrum half Oscar Cawley who came off the bench to touch down twice against Highfield.

UCC’s Sean Condon, Wesley flyer Alex Molloy and Old Belvedere’s Kiwi number 8 Kale Thatcher also picked up their second tries last Saturday.
