Belfast Harlequins lifted their first piece of silverware since the amalgamation of Collegians and North of Ireland two seasons ago when they outplayed a weakened Dungannon side at Ravenhill last night in the Ulster Senior Cup final.
Harlequins ran in five tries while Dungannon had to rely on the boot of outhalf Mark Bradley for all their points. Harlequins' architect was Niall Malone who scored 21 points with a try, four penalties and a couple of conversions. Harlequins led 19-9 at half-time.
