Ul Bohs and Shannon sitting pretty after emphatic victories

UL BOHEMIAN and Shannon reinforced their foothold at the summit of AIL Division One with devastating performances on Saturday.

UCD felt the full force of UL Bohs, conceding five tries in a 39-3 home defeat while Shannon were almost as emphatic in their 34-6 canter against Buccaneers at Thomond Park.

Three tries from Martin McPhail and two from No 8 James O’Neill along with the unerring boot of Ben Martin pushed UL Bohs to ten points — one clear of Shannon, who had front rowers Sean Cronin and Tony Buckley amongst their scorers.
