Still no win for Quins

Belfast Harlequins 6 Dungannon 23, Deramore Park

Belfast Harlequins are still without a Division One win, eight games into the season, after they came a cropper at Deramore Park today.

‘Quins, who have brought in former Ulster coach Alan Solomons as a coaching consultant, were well in touch as the break as they trailed Dungannon 6-3.

Niall O’Connor hit a lone penalty in between efforts from Dungannon out-half Richard McCarter. But the Tyrone men dominated the second half as they notched tires through McCarter, Ryan Caldwell and Oisin Hennessey.

The win, Dungannon’s fifth in their last six games, has moved them up to sixth in the table.
