Dungannon stay on form

Dungannon 20 Lansdowne 8, Stevenson Park

Dungannon continued their rich vein of form as tries from out-half Richard McCarter and full-back Neil Patterson saw them account for Lansdowne at Stevenson Park.

Without Ryan Caldwell and Declan Fitzpatrick, who are on Ulster duty, and injured hooker Nigel Brady, 'Gannon still had enough strength to grab their fifth straight league win.

The on-fire McCarter scored an early intercept try and Paterson went over on 32 minutes for a 17-8 interval lead.

Winger John Coleman (try) and full-back Robbie Dolan (penalty) were the Lansdowne scorers, and the second half witnessed just a single penalty from McCarter.
