Queen's Rescue RVH Draw

With every week and result that passes, it seems more and more likely that the 2008/09 race for the Silver King is set to go to the wire. Engaging in a well balanced three way joust for the coveted trophy are the Evil Empire of Fisherwick, pretenders to the crown RVH and reigning champions QUB.
Queen's Rescue RVH Draw

QUB v RVH

Last week Queen’s bounced back from a bad defeat with a huge win over Lagan. They then watched on as RVH ended their losing streak against Fisherwick, with the Royal crossing over to the dark side and returning to West Belfast with a draw.

Now the PFC played host to another top three tussle, as Queen’s welcomed RVH to the University.

Lining up for the visitors were Michael Holmes, Gareth Annesley, Nick Plikiewicz, Ciaran Marron and Tony Parker. QUB’s five consisted of Steve Scannell, Chris Cohrs, Eamonn Walls, Lukasz Kwiatek and Andrew Higgins.
