Queens took an early 4th<\/sup> minute lead, through a Harry McKibben<\/strong> try, in the left corner for a 5-0 lead. In the 15th<\/sup> minute they doubled their lead when Matthew Curry<\/strong> cantered in from deep to dot down on the left. Queens continued to dominate, and it was no surprise when Curry added his 2nd<\/sup> try after 31 minutes. Alex McBurney<\/strong>\u2019s conversion made it 17-0 to Queens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queens seemed to relax coming up to the break. Sam Patteron<\/strong> found a gap, in the Queens defence to run in from 30 metres. Denis Kerr<\/strong>\u2019s conversion reduced Queens lead to 17-7 at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defences were on top in the next quarter before McKibben grabbed his 2nd<\/sup> try on 60 minutes. McBurney\u2019s conversion put Queens out to 24-7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banbridge could make little headway against a determined Queens defence. Curry claimed his hat trick with a 71st<\/sup> minute try in the left corner and a 29-7 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was no further scoring in a comprehensive bonus point win for Queens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
