Clontarf hooker Dylan Donnellan and Terenure College’s Craig Adams and Adam La Grue are in a three-way tie at the top of the try-scoring charts in Energia All-Ireland League Men’s Division 1A.

All three players touched down during last weekend’s heavyweight clash at Castle Avenue, with Adams and La Grue both bagging braces to join Donnellan on six tries for the season so far.

As we head towards the Christmas break, Dublin University out-half Aran Egan remains the top flight’s leading points scorer with 94 points. Next up on the list is Ballynahinch’s Greg Hutley who has taken his haul to 68.

Round 7 also saw Ballynahinch centre George Pringle and Trinity’s Ronan Quinn (pictured below) register their fifth tries of the campaign. Clive Ross, who has been captaining Lansdowne of late, doubled his tally to four with a brace against Garryowen.
