<!- S SF ->
Ulster snatched a remarkable first win of a poor Heineken Cup campaign thanks to a late try by Andrew Trimble.
</font>

The win looked unlikely as tries from winger Jean
Francois Coux, full-back Florian Denos and hooker Remi Vigneaux saw
Bourgoin take first-half command.
</font>

David Humphreys set up Tommy Bowe for Ulster's first try early in the second half but Augusto Petrilli replied.
</font>

Scrum-half Paul Marshall dived in at the corner to reduce the deficit before centre Trimble got the crucial score.
<!- E SF ->
</font>

Ulster now have five points but stay bottom of Pool Two with third-placed Bourgoin also out of contention on seven.
</font>

It had looked bad for Ulster as their line was crossed by Bourgoin in the first minute with Coux making the left corner.
</font>

Two Humphreys penalties gave the home side a brief 6-5 lead.
</font>

Bourgoin hit back quickly when Denos put in a grubber kick on Ulster's 22-metre line and dived
on the ball as it rolled over the line.
</font>

Then in first-half stoppage-time Julien Frier intercepted a Marshall pass off the
deck and took the ball just short of the try line for Vigneaux
to score under the posts.
</font>

Bowe's try gave Ulster something to chase before Marshall's try and Trimble's
heroics secured the win.
</font>

You've a better chance of seein him in drag I would imagine[img]smileys/biggrin.gif[/img]

Not that big a shock given the opposition. Hugh Farrelly - probably the best rugby scribe around along with Thornleyforecast that result.

Anyone think Leinster will provide the same shock?

**munster_mafia** · 11th-January-2008, 22:06

What the f*ck- maybe it`s just me but I find most of his articles complete crap. I realise the standard is low in Ireland. Edmund van Esbuck wrote an article a few years ago giving out about former players doing columns and saying they should leave it to the professional journo`s but the standard is just so poor it`s incredible. The one thing I will say for Farrelly is thathe`s better thanKellywho`s opiniated rubbishextends to soccer, GAA and Rugby. Has he played any mof the sports??

BTW just to keep on topic-Well done Ulster

**scourge** · 11th-January-2008, 22:16

He can wait and join the Supporters Club like everyone else.

Trimble isout of Contract at the season's end - and more than likely to be heading to France, seeing as he graduates this Summer from his Theology Degree course (and i don't think that Andy even knows where Waterford is !!)

Toulouse can still lose, they can still qualify as winners if they get 5 points against Edin in Toulouse.

He seems to have taste

**Wild Colonial Bhoy** · 12th-January-2008, 09:16

From what i know - most of the women in his close circle are from either Coleraine, where he's fromor from College in Belfast - not aware of any Argentian Waterford Women (his "Missionary Work" probably starts next year in France!!) - I heard it wasn't Castres, as he doesn't want to work with McCall again
