34 tries were scored across the opening five matches in Energia All-Ireland League Men’s Division 1B, with Highfield’s new centre Cian Bohane bagging a brace against Banbridge.
Bohane is the division’s leading try scorer heading into the second round this Saturday. The highest points scorer so far is Old Wesley’s Ian Cassidy who kicked 12 points in their bonus point win over Naas.
He is closely followed by UCC centre Daniel Squires, who tallied up 11 points from the tee during their successful trip to Malone.
A try, conversion and penalty took Ulster Academy out-half James Humphreys into double figures on his All-Ireland League debut for Banbridge away to Highfield.
