Queen’s University rampaged to a 78 – 15 win against Banbridge, at the Dub, to sit at the top of the Ulster Premiership at the end of the first weekend.

There is not a lot to write about this one with Queen’s scoring seven first half tries to put the game beyond doubt at the break. The tries came from (2), , (2), and , I believe, with converting 6 to give Queens a 47 – 0 lead at the break.

Curtis crossed again at the start of the second half and Hunter completed a hattrick either side of a try from replacement before Banbridge troubled the scoresheet.

Banbridge opened their account on the 66th minute with an unconverted try from which was quickly followed by similar from and to take the score to 71 – 15 on the 70th minute.

Banbridge look to hit back in the second half.

However, Queen’s had the last word with Christie going over for his second, and Queen’s 12th, try in the closing minutes. McMaster added his 9th conversion to give a final score of 78 – 15 in Queen’s favour.
