Bristol Rugby rounded off the B&I Cup pool stages with an entertaining 47-13 victory over Ulster ‘A’ on Friday.
The home side scored six tries as Charlie Amesbury, Matthew Morgan, Jamal Ford-Robinson, Max Crumpton, Ross McMillan and Ben Glynn all crossed at Ashton Gate.
Matthew Morgan’s penalty goal nudged Bristol ahead inside five minutes, but it was Ulster ‘A’ who scored the first try of the evening soon after.
Lorcan Dow rumbled over from close range, although Jonny McPhillips saw his conversion attempt fade wide.
Jonny McPhillips and Morgan traded long-range three pointers, before Charlie Amesbury cantered over the whitewash to put Bristol back in front at 11-8 on the half hour mark.
The lead lasted a matter of minutes as Ulster skipper Stuart Olding spotted a gap and accelerated in from twenty-five metres.
Joe Joyce was inches away from his first Bristol try following Ryan Edwards’ superb solo break, while Craig Hampson also came agonizingly close to touching down.
But the hosts did go over before the interval as Matthew Morgan’s audacious step saw the fly half fly cross for a converted try.
After the break, Morgan slotted another three pointer in a prolific display to hand Bristol a 21-13 advantage.
Replacement Jamal Ford-Robinson put the home side in full control when the prop bulldozed his way through several defenders to dab down.
And Bristol rounded off the encounter with two tries in quick succession as Ross McMillan and Max Crumpton burrowed over.
With time running out, Ben Glynn galloped in from fifty metres to seal an impressive B&I Cup victory.
