Scoring Charts: Energia All-Ireland League Division 1B 2019/20

Rory Stynes proved to be the top scorer in Division 1B of the Energia All-Ireland League in the 2019/20 season. Operating mostly from full-back, the Old Wesley stalwart hit 112 points including two tries. It’s the first time Stynes has broken the century mark for a season in his playing career to date.

Highfield’s position at the top of the table was helped in no small part by 102 points from their out-half Shane O’Riordan.

Pa Ryan of Shannon was the stand out try scorer in Division 1B, crossing the whitewash on 11 occasions. The centre scored in eight league games and caught the eye at Club Ireland level with a Man of the Match performance in the series decider between Ireland Club XV and Scotland Club XV.

Banbridge hooker Peter Cromie put together a remarkable run of scoring form to score in eight consecutive games across the second half of the season to finish with nine tries.
