AIL Division Three - Review

The weather-affected Division 3 programme saw just six games up for decision this afternoon, with Greystones leaping to the top of the table for the first time this season thanks to a 29-16 home win over Portadown.

Elsewhere Ards remained in second spot with a thumping 48-18 over visitors Wanderers at Hamilton Park.

Suttonians surprised high-flying Wanderers with a five-try 35-16 win at the John J McDowell Memorial Grounds.

Argentine Lisandro Rasia scored a hat trick from his centre berth, with former Irish Colleges hooker Daragh Dowling and Dara Mulligan crossing for one each.

Out-half Eoin Hogan converted two and kicked two penalties.

Former leaders Instonians had their match against bottom side Ballina called off due to a bout of heavy snow in Mayo.

No new date has been confirmed, with Instonians, whose last match was three weeks, set to be idle until their March 13 fixture at home to the Connemara All Blacks.

The Galway side enjoyed their fourth win from 12 outings this afternoon, defeating City of Derry 15-13.

Queen’s scored an impressive away win at Skerries, trouncing the home side 44-13 at Holmpatrick to keep the play-off pressure on fourth place Banbridge, who lie one point ahead of the Belfast University on 38 points.
