CIAN HEALY WRAPPED up relatively warm at Castle Avenue last night as he cheered on former club Contarf during their 20-13 victory over Old Belvedere.
Healy, who misses out on this evening’s Pro12 game between Leinster and Munster with an ankle injury, was joined by Connacht scrum-half Paul O’Donohoe for the top-of-the-table Ulster Bank League tie.
The home side trailed 10-8 at the break to Belvedere, who entered the tie as league leaders. Tries from Darragh Fitzpatrick and Bryan Byrne, with five kicked points from David Joyce, nudged the hosts ahead and Ian Hirst added an insurance try. The result leaves the two Dublin sides level on points but ‘Tarf have a match in hand.

In other Ulster Bank League news, the IRFU awarded Dolphin RFC four points and a victory for their match against Young Munster in February. Young Munster failed to fulfil the fixture so the union’s appeal panel ruled in Dolphin’s favour.
Champions Lansdowne continue to struggle. They were beaten 21-17 by UCD at Belfield on Friday.
