Malone and Belfast Harlequins played for the inaugural Patrick Baird Cup as the centrepiece of the Festival of Rugby held at Gibson Park on Saturday.
The game kicked off after a one minute round of applause in memory of “Chippy” and the Malone pack soon took a grip of the game with a try from Tommy O’Hagan off the back of a lineout maul.
The Malone front five had a good day in general and with dominance in the scrum it was no surprise when the second score came 15 minutes later off another maul with hooker Clayton Milligan coming up with the ball. Rory Campbell converted both to give Malone a 14- 0 lead after 25 minutes.
