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

Mick O’Gara remains the top flight’s leading scorer with 137 points, as the Energia All-Ireland League Men’s Division 1A campaign resumes on Saturday with O’Gara’s St. Mary’s College side sitting at the summit.

Meanwhile, heading into round 14, Clontarf captain Dylan Donnellan – Division 1A’s top try scorer in each of the last four seasons – and Young Munster flyer Shay McCarthy are currently tied on 10 tries each.

The irishrugby+ cameras will be at Temple Hill on Saturday as third-placed Cork Constitution host St. Mary’s in a crucial top four clash. Kick-off is at 3pm, and you will able to watch the game live on irishrugby+.

The victorious Ireland Club XV players, who overcame their Scottish rivals to lift the Dalriada Cup, will return to Energia All-Ireland League action this weekend.

They include captain Jack Kelleher, Cork Con’s talismanic number 8, and Lansdowne’s Bobby Sheehan, the scorer of a first-half hat-trick against the Scotland Clubs. Kelleher and Sheehan have both scored seven tries so far this season for their clubs.

With an 87% kicking success rate, St. Mary’s centre O’Gara is 27 points clear of Young Munster’s Shane O’Leary, who gained significant ground last time out with a brilliant 27-point haul against UCD, which included 11 conversions.

Elsewhere in the Opta statistics, which are collected each match week by Stats Perform, Mary’s Kiwi back rower Josh Gimblett is setting the defensive standard with 183 successful tackles – and 26 dominant hits – with Old Belvedere’s Will McDonald the top ball carrier with 154.

Incredibly, Terenure College playmaker Aran Egan is in the top ten at present in nine different categories. The in-form Ireland Club XV international is having a season to remember, with his 50-point tally including eight tries, and his impressive attacking displays marked by 13 line breaks and almost 900 running metres.

Munster winger McCarthy, who leads the way with 1171.7 running metres, has made 16 line breaks, the same amout as Mary’s centre Myles Carey.

Ballynahinch’s Aaron Sexton, another of the Ireland Club XV contingent alongside Carey, and Old Belvedere full-back Morgan Meredith have not missed a minute yet of All-Ireland League rugby in 2025/26.
