AIL round-up: Students from UCC and Dublin University both enjoy impressive wins

Three teams in the lower half of All-Ireland League Division 1A all won on Saturday as UCC and Dublin University claimed the scalps of Lansdowne and Clontarf respectively, while bottom side Terenure College swept past UCD for their first victory since October.

Young out-half James Taylor produced a man-of-the-match performance to pilot UCC to a tremendous 25-22 win over Lansdowne at the Mardyke. The defending champions came away with two bonus points, but Brian Walsh's charges, who have climbed out of the bottom two, triumphed thanks to Taylor's 10 points with the boot and tries from Matt Bowen, Brian O'Mahony and Michael Clune.
