Belfast Harlequins 9 – 17 Terenure College
Scrum-half Michael Heaney kept Quins in touch throughout the game with two first half penalties and a third in the second half.
The Belfast side, despite trailing to a converted try and penalty, looked to have secured at least a bonus point but even that was snatched from their grasp with an 85th minute try and conversion by Terenure. Final score Quins 9 – 17 Terenure.
Belfast Harlequins: Miles O’Hagan, Roger Kirkwood, Michael Allen, William Stewart, Fiyin Olayisade, Rory Blake-Knox, Michael Heaney, Alan Rankin, Robert Logan(Captain), Adam Macklin, Gareth Rourke, Neil McComb, Andrew Gillespie, Colin Atkinson, Chris McCarey. Replacements: Tim Morton, Keith Pyper, Mark McGrath, David Creighton, Danny Annett.
Malone 23 – 23 Clonakilty
Two penalties from Josh Pentland were scant reward for Malone’s first half performance. However Malone errors allowed the visitors to score two tries, one converted, and a penalty to lead 6 – 15 at half time.
Malone eventually sorted themselves out and scored two tries with centre Stuart Wilson and Jon Anderson both going over. The tries were converted by Pentland to take the score to 20 – 15. Both sides exchanged penalties with Pentland again successful but a last minute try by Clonakilty snatched the draw in the dying minutes.
