Ulster kept their Magners League play-off hopes alive with a 23-10 victory over Aironi at Ravenhill.
Tries from Tom Court, Craig Gilroy and Declan Fitzpatrick propelled the Irish region to their third win in a row but they were made to fight hard by a spirited Aironi effort which managed to deny the hosts a bonus point. The result could have been a lot closer had Aironi been more precise with their finishing after a number of chances were blown by the Italians, who tumbled to their 16th defeat in as many outings in the competition.
Ulster, with Ruan Pienaar at outside half for the injured Ian Humphreys, made several errors after initially streaking to an early 15-0 lead. Tries from Court and Gilroy inside seven minutes helped them to a 15-10 half-time lead before a score from replacement Fitzpatrick plus two Pienaar penalties in a second half which skipper Johann Mueller was yellow carded.
