v Carlow
J1 - UCD v Carlow
A fine performance on a fine day saw UCD J1 beat Carlow 32-18 in Thornfield. After a nervous start, David Nyhan pounced on a kick which the Carlow full back let bounce for an early score under the posts. Carlow came back but another opportunist try by Henry Walpole set Collidge out to a decent lead. With half time approaching Carlow launched an offensive which brought them back to within 4 points.
In the second half UCD upped the tempo and after a fantastic piece of interplay Rory O’Connor caught the last pass to dive in under the posts. A further score by Alex Franciossi at the end of a 35 meter maul sealed the win and the bonus point for Collidge.
