Blackrock to Remain in Pole Position.

Round Six of the AIB League this afternoon should see league leaders Blackrock College maintain the top spot following the visit of Terenure College to Stradbrook. The Lakelands outfit prop up the table and have only managed to harvest two bonus points in their five outings to date. Against a side who are averaging three tries a game, Terenure – they’ve only managed three tries in total -look to have little chance of putting an end to their dismal start to the season.

Second placed Ballymena travel to Stevenson Park for their clash with Dungannon and although the sides are separated by ten places in the table, Ballymena have a poor away record in this competition.
Should they come unstuck, then Clontarf would benefit if they were to account for Lansdowne at Castle Avenue.
