Ulster 25-24 Bourgoin:A late Andrew Trimble try earned Ulster an unlikely Heineken Cup success against French side Bourgoin at Ravenhill tonight.

Bourgoin dominated the first period and ran in tries from Mathieu Nicolas, Florian Denos and Remi Vigmeaux.

Tommy Bowe managed a reply for the province early in the second half and scrum-half Paul Marshall gave Ulster a fighting chance before Trimble's late heroics, though they remain bottom of Pool Two.
