TWO first-half tries from Louis Burke and another from Eoghan Hickey put UCD on their way to a comfortable win over Dungannon at Belfield yesterday.

The students led 19-3 at half time, Dungannon's sole reply coming from a Garret Steenson penalty.

In a disappointing second period Dungannon captain Andrew Hughes was sinbinned in the 50th minute before Peter Stanley scored a late try for UCD with his first touch to secure a bonus point.
