Ulster got their European Champions Cup campaign off to an excellent start following a narrow 17-16 triumph over Bath at the Rec last night.
Tries in each half by John Cooney and Rob Lyttle helped the PRO14 side make it five straight wins against Bath in European competition.
Scrum-half Cooney converted both and kicked a 70th-minute penalty to seal the win.
The Premiership side kept in touch with two penalties from Freddie Burns before replacement wing Gabriel Hamer-Webb scored their only try, converted by Burns.
Bath’s midfield passing lacked the precision of Ulster’s, for whom full-back Will Addison was a particularly creative influence.
Meanwhile, in the corresponding fixture, Glasgow Warriors held off Sale Sharks’ second-half surge to claim a 13-7 victory at Scotstoun.
Dave Rennie’s men were excellent in the first half and deservedly moved 13-0 ahead at the interval through DTH van der Merwe’s try and two Adam Hastings penalties, but the Sharks responded in the second period.
