Ulster Bank League: Results Round-Up
The gap between Division 1A leaders Lansdowne and the chasing pack was widened once again as Mike Ruddock’s men ran out 20-point winners over Young Munster. UCD put 84 points on Dungannon to take over in second spot in Division 1B, but Ballynahinch also claimed a bonus point to remain in control at the top of the table.
