Malone battled to a bruising win against Old Wesley at Donnybrook on Saturday afternoon. The win leaves Malone two points clear at the top of AIL 1B.

Old Wesley edged the first half taking a 17 – 14 lead into the break thanks to tries from David Poff, and Cronan Gleeson. Rory Stynes converted both and added a penalty. Malone responded through a penalty try before Michael Shiels crossed for their second try, converted by Rory Campbell.
