Coach happy as rampant Con close to place in play-offs

Belfast Harlequins 22 Cork Constitution 53

A delighted coach Brian Walsh reflected: “We did most of the damage in the second half, but we laid the foundations in the first.”

Playing into the teeth of a gale, Constitution led 17-8 at the interval, a situation due as much to their own tenacity as Harlequins’ inability to adapt to the conditions.
