Two season\u2019s ago Queen\u2019s promotion hopes were ended as Inst completed a smash a grab raid at Shaw\u2019s Bridge. This season a bonus point win for the students has edged them closer to securing a place in Division Two as they outscored their Belfast neighbours by four tries to three.<\/p>\n

With both sides not having played for while any doubts of ring rust were dispelled in the opening two minutes as captain Mark Robinson got the game\u2019s opening try.<\/p>\n

Queen\u2019s ran the ball from deep, Michael Pyper surged through the middle of the home defence before throwing a looping pass inside for Robinson to power over from close range and Ian Porter added the conversion.<\/p>\n

Inst got back on level terms seven minutes later with a try from winger Richard Fegan, he broke down the left but seemed to knock the ball on the Queen\u2019s defence stopped but the referee awarded a try which Rory McCann converted.<\/p>\n

Porter restored Queen\u2019s lead with a penalty before Inst had full back Josh Devitt yellow carded for a high tackle.<\/p>\n

Porter added another penalty on 35 minutes but McCann reduced the students lead to 13-10 at the break with a penalty two minutes before the interval.<\/p>\n

Porter was on target with his third penalty a minute after the restart and Robinson added his second try on 50 minutes.<\/p>\n

Devitt showed his pace to score a try for Inst but Queen\u2019s with out half James McKinney directing operations scored two more tries in the last quarter.<\/p>\n

Jonny Shiels finished of a sweeping move in the corner before European Cup winner Jonny Bell raced onto a smart grubber kick by McKinney to get the vital fourth try.<\/p>\n

Inst had the last word with Seamus Mallon going over in the final move of the game.<\/p>\n
