QUBRFC 33 - 14 DUFC - Saturday 1st March 2025
QUBRFC win the Dudley Cup by defeating DUFC in the AIL1B league - 1st March 2025
Queens win Dudley Cup. The match was truly a game of two halves, with Queen's building a 33-0 lead in the first period while Trinity scored 14 points in the second.
The Cup, which was won by Queen's in its inaugural season 1903/04, was presented to the winning captain, Charlie Irvine, by Philip Rainey (Queen's, Ballymena, Ulster and Ireland).
Captain Charlie Irvine got two of the Belfast students’ five tries against their Dublin counterparts and was delighted with the first-half display that yielded all 33 points.
He said: “Five points was all that we could ask for from that game. It was a really good first-half performance and maybe we switched off a wee bit in the second half, but it didn’t affect us too badly and it was a really good all-round performance from the lads.
