Three teams are unbeaten after the first block of games in Energia All-Ireland League Men’s Division 1A – leaders Terenure College, Dublin University, and defending champions Clontarf.
It is no surprise to see players from these clubs also at the top of the scoring charts, with Trinity’s in-form out-half Aran Egan leading the way on 45 points (three tries, 12 conversions and two penalties).
Three points behind him is Munster Academy out-half Tony Butler, who kicked 10 points against Terenure last Saturday. It was a good kicking day too for Young Munster’s Conor Hayes who landed 13 points away to UCD.
Joining four others players, including Egan, at the top of the try-scoring charts on three are Terenure captain Harrison Brewer and team-mate Craig Adams (pictured below), who both touched down at Dooradoyle.
The try-scoring stars from round three were Munster Academy scrum half Ethan Coughlan, who bagged a brace for Shannon, and Trinity lock Max Dunne who scored a try in each half during their victory at Lansdowne.
