Buccs nab crucial bonus point against UCD

UCD 24 Buccaneers 34

An injury-time try from replacement scrum-half Conor O'Loughlin gave Buccaneers a bonus point that may turn out to be crucial as they pursue a top four finish in Div 1.

At Belfield, UCD were lacking bite and they only woke up after trailing 20-0 by the 47th minute when second row Niall Smullen crashed over.

Buccs' other tries came from Niall O'Hara and Damien Hunt. UCD did not even have the consolation of a bonus point as they could only manage three tires from Ken Kennedy, Paddy Hickey-Dwyer and Conor Davis.
