The DCU Saints and Dublin Rhinos played out a very defensive 0-0 game with both Joe Carlyle (LB) and Stephen Connor (DE) getting a sack and interception each and the Saints blocking a FG and preventing a score from the 1 yard line and a Sean Glennon punt from just outside the Saints redzone that put the Rhinos back on their 1 yard line from which the Rhinos kneeled out the game. Both sides struggled offensively especially in opposition’s redzone.
