2021-11-13 Queen’s University 5 Belfast Harlequins 2 Premier League Men

On Saturday Harlequins travelled the short distance to The Dub Playing Fields to play Queen’s in the Men’s Premier League.

I arrived at The Dub, a few minutes before the end of the 1^st quarter. Queens had taken a 1-0 lead, through Conor Irwin, following a penalty corner. There was no other score during the quarter.

The 2^nd quarter was scoreless and unremarkable save for the seemingly endless Harlequins penalty corners, which they failed to convert.

Queens lead 1-0 at halftime.

The 3^rd quarter was the opposite. Jason Taggart scored for Queen’s on 38 minutes, followed by an Andrew O’Hare brace on 41 and 42 minutes to put Queens 4-1 up.

Quins pulled one back shortly before halftime for Queens to lead 4-1 at the end of the quarter.

The 4^th quarter was even. Neil Anderson pulled another back for Quins to reduce the deficit to 4-2, before O’Hare completed his hat trick, with a penalty flick.

Queen’s ran out worthy 5-2 winners.
