AIB League: Division One Top Scorers

…Dave Delaney, who had a good day with the boot for Shannon on Saturday, kicking six penalties and converting Pat O’Connor’s try for a 20-point haul against County Carlow…

Buccaneers full-back Tommy Cregan continues to lead the way at the top of the Division One scoring charts.

Clontarf winger Derek Keane looks unbeatable in the try-scoring stakes – he missed his side’s 36-8 defeat of Harlequins at the weekend – allowing others like Dungannon’s representative star Tyrone Howe catch up. Former Ireland and Lions winger Howe marked his last home outing for ‘Gannon before his retirement with two tries in a 42-18 loss at the hands of UL Bohemians.
