Blackrock pip Dublin Uni for points
Blackrock College 21 Dublin University 19
A late Paddy O'Toole penalty saw Blackrock College pip Dublin University for the spoils at Stradbrook this afternoon.
'Rock, with player-coach Dave Dillon in excellent form on the blindside of the scrum, edged the students 21-19 to remain as one of six unbeaten sides in the top flight so far.
Dublin Uni began the better and led 10-6 due to a try, midway through the first half, from right winger Phil Howard. Johnny Watt converted it and kicked two penalties. O'Toole landed a brace of penalties for 'Rock.
A sizzling try from Leinster winger Gary Brown, who steamrolled over from his own 22, opened the second half in fine style for the hosts.
Trinity fly half Watt added two more penalties but a second 'Rock try from young winger Fionn Carr put Dillon's men within sight of the win.
Watt kicked his fourth penalty for a 19-18 lead late on, but O'Toole held his nerve to kick temporarily up to fourth.
