Belfast Harlequins 31 UL Bohemians 27

Belfast Harlequins edged past UL Bohemians despite having three players sin-binned at Deramore Park.

Hooker Stuart Philpott, prop John Andress and player coach Andy Ward, on as a replacement, all saw yellow but second half tries from Mark Kettyle and Philpott saw ‘Quins to victory.

The students lost their way in the second half with full-back Kettyle and Philpott grabbing the crucial scores. Michael Glancy kicked 11 points - four conversions and a penalty - for the hosts.

Scorers: Harlequins: Tries: Jonny McLaughlin, Darren Cave, Mark Kettyle, Stuart Philpott; Cons: Michael Glancy 4; Pen: Glancy UL Bohs: Tries: Ben Martin, Gordon Ryan, Brian Madigan; Cons: Martin 3; Pens: Martin 2
