, , ,

Ulster A crashed to a 28 – 43 defeat to Leinster A in the opening round of the Celtic Cup at Malone RFC on Friday evening.

The Ulster A tries came from James Hume (2), Matthew Rea and Aaron Sexton with Johnny McPhillips adding 4 conversions but despite getting a try bonus it has to be regarded as a disappointing result for the Ulster side given the comparative experience of the two sides.

The Leinster A tries came from Harry Byrne, Scot Penny, Conor O’Brien, Ronan Kelleher, Michael Silvester and Dan Sheehan. Byrne completed the scoring for the visitors adding five conversions and a penalty.
