Harlequins make winning start to European Cup campaign
Harlequins dominated from the start and found the net midway through the first half, when Mark and Jason Black combined to release David Lombard down the line. When Lombard crossed, David Egner was on hand to touch home the goal that gave Quins the lead. The Cork side created several clear-cut chances and hit the bar just before the break.
Within minutes of the resumption, Quins had doubled their lead, when David Eakins picked up a cross from the right in front of goal, spun free and beat the keeper with a terrific shot. Quins dominated the rest of the game and a greater winning margin wouldn’t have flattered them. The good news for Harlequins is that Wesley Bateman and John Aherne, the two injury worries in the side, came through the game with flying colours, giving manager Donal Kingston a full-strength panel to choose from for the clash with Gibraltar side Collegians this afternoon.
