Greystones and UCC are tied on nine points at the top of Divison 2 following wins over Highfield and Suttonians in what was a bit of a top four round robin.

By contrast to the high scores of last week it was generally a low scoring affair this week that allowed for a few losing bonus points to be picked up along the way. Old Crescent and Barnhall trail by a point. Crescent beating DLSP by a narrow two points while Barnhall got the better of Dublin University in a high scoring game in College Park.

Belvo notched their first win over Young Munster (possibly suffering a post Heineken or post Hokke & Pope hang over).
