Division 1A Top Scorer O’Gara Widens The Gap

The Energia All-Ireland League resumes on Saturday with table toppers St. Mary’s playing Nenagh Ormond for the first time ever, while the irishrugby+ cameras will be at Tom Clifford Park for the meeting of Young Munster and Cork Constitution.

O’Gara’s 12-point tally from the kicking tee was not enough for Mary’s to edge out local rivals Terenure College last time out. But it did extend his lead as Division 1A’s top scorer.

Conor Kelly is next up on 47 points, having split the posts three times during Clontarf’s 17-3 victory at Cork Con. Reigning champions ‘Tarf host Terenure this weekend, with the both teams just a single point behind Mary’s.

With six tries each during the first third of the regular season, wingers Ethan Graham (Ballynahinch) and Dan Martin (Terenure) remain the leading try scorers in the top flight.

The chasing pack is growing just behind them, however, as Young Munster’s Shay McCarthy and Lansdowne captain Andy Marks both bagged braces in the last round to move onto five tries overall.

Hooker Bobby Sheehan (pictured below) also touched down twice for Lansdowne against Old Belvedere, taking his season’s haul to four – the same amount as tallismanic Ballynahinch forward Bradley Luney, one of their try scorers away to Nenagh.
