UL Bohs keep up play-off hopes

Dungannon 18 UL Bohemians 42

UL Bohemians ran in four second-half tries at Stevenson Park to continue their push for a play-off spot.

Bohs have closed the gap on fourth-placed Cork Constitution, whose game was postponed, to two points with just two games remaining.

The Limerick men led 14-8 at half time courtesy of an Aidan O’Gorman try, two Ben Martin penalties and a Fergal Lawlor drop goal. Soon-to-be-retired winger Tyrone Howe grabbed an early try for ‘Gannon.

Howe struck again with an intercept effort after the restart, but touchdowns from O’Gorman, captain Colman Finn, Anthony Hartigan and Cathal Garvey saw Bohs romp clear.
