Dungannon impress in nine-try win

Rampant Dungannon ran in nine tries to blow Terenure's league ambitions out of the water

Rampant Dungannon ran in nine tries to blow Terenure's league ambitions out of the water. This win keeps the Tyrone-men on course for a top-four finish.

Richard Stafford and Andrew Hughes showed what emerging talents they are with immense displays as part of an uncompromising pack, while full-back Bryn Cunningham made a massive contribution to Ryan Constable's hat-trick.

Constable had touched down twice by half-time, with tries also coming from international pair Tyrone Howe and David Humphreys, who made a personal tally of 22 points, completed by seven conversions and a penalty.

Terenure's only score of the game came from a Richard Governey penalty midway through the half, and at halftime they trailed 29-3.
