#EnergiaAIL Men’s Division 1A: Player Rankings – Top Tens

The Energia All-Ireland League Men’s Division 1A resumes this weekend, and there are some familiar faces and new names leading the player rankings so far this season. The Opta statistics, collected each week, are provided by Stats Perform.

Three rounds in, unbeaten leaders St. Mary’s College boast the top points scorer in Mick O’Gara (41 points), while their captain Conor Dean, who starred against Old Belvedere last time out, has kicked astutely out of hand with 30 kicks.

Ulster Academy winger Ethan Graham shot straight to the top of the try-scoring charts with his six-try haul at home to UCD. Cork Constitution hooker Danny Sheahan and Young Munster’s Hubert Gilvarry are next up on four tries each.

Clontarf lock Fionn Gilbert has impressed at lineout time with 23 takes and three steals, and his team-mate, Oran Walsh, is level with Munster Academy youngster Sheahan for breakdown steals (4).

In-form winger Gilvarry has stood out with 18 tackle breaks and seven linebreaks – figures matched by Nenagh Ormond centre Angus Blackmore and ‘Hinch’s Graham respectively. The Cookies’ Kelvin Langan is the top offloader with seven.

With Cork Constitution currently sitting second in the table, the ever-influential Jack Kelleher is averaging 15 carries per game, and lock Cian Barry has registered seven dominant tackles.

Former Leicester Tiger Morgan Meredith, now bedding into the Old Belvedere back-line, has led the way with 832.3 kicking metres. Another new recruit for ‘Belvo, flanker Ronán O’Sullivan, has set the tone defensively with 46 successful tackles.

Munster winger Shay McCarthy has also made a strong start to the campaign. He has scored three tries and clocked up 396.5 running metres for Young Munster, along with making an impact for Munster ‘A’ with a second-half brace against Leinster ‘A’ last week.
