Edinburgh had tested the home defence to the full for the opening quarter, but Ulster began to use their possession wisely and a David Pollock try, converted by Clinton Schifcofske on 26 minutes gave them a 7-0 lead.

Apart from that conversion, Schifcofske's poor kicking streak continued missing penalty attempts on 20 and 40 minutes, while just after the break two kicks inside six minutes from David Blair brought Edinburgh right back in at 7-6.
Schifcofske did kick two penalties, having missed another, which did restore the seven point lead, only for a silly penalty against giving replacement Phil Godman an easy three-pointer and there were just four in it again.
But Ulster were to hold out this time and a crucial turnover in injury time as Edinburgh were pressing gave the Irish Province that much sought after first win.
