Their 18-13 win over Saturday's finalists Grosvenor completed an unbeaten league campaign for the Uni side, but it was a game too far at Ravenhill as their Belfast counterparts exacted revenge by sealing an 18-8 triumph and quashing the University's hope of claiming the'double'.

This match was played at blistering pace with these two evenly matched teams putting on a wonderful display of running rugby.
Scott Martin opened the scoring after 10 minutes for Grosvenor with a well struck penalty but this was cancelled out by his UUC counterpart almost immediately and the score remained locked at 3-3.

In the last minute of the half, Grosvenor created some space up the left flank for winger Colin Hamilton to scorch in for a try to leave it 8-3 to Grosvenor at the break.

UUC started the second half strongly and scored a great try of their own to level the scores. The game continued at a frenetic pace but the excellent discipline of each side at the break-downs and well organised defences meant that scoring chances were few and far between.

With 20 minutes to go Scott Martin added a superb penalty from almost the half-way line to nudge Grosvenor in front again. The Coleraine students then threw everything at Grosvenor but the Belmont side's defence held firm and with a few minutes to go the Grosvenor pack rumbled up field for a great forwards try, second-row Neil Thompson getting the touch-down. The final whistle went soon after to spark riotous celebrations in the Grosvenor ranks.
