CATS HOLD ON FOR QUINS WIN
Les Catalan Dragons continued their fantastic start to the Super League season, coming from 18-6 behind at half time to beat Harlequins 24-22 at the Stoop.
After beating St Helens last week Dragons continued their march up the Super League while Quins racked up their second consecutive defeat.
Quins’ winger David Howell scored a hat-trick, but his team missed four goals and with French kicker Thomas Bosc knocking over all four of his efforts, that proved the difference.
First half tries from Henry Paul, Matt Gafa and two from Australian summer-signing Howell took the home side to 18-6 at the interval.
Aaron Gorrell went over for the visitors five minutes shy of the hooter to start the comeback.
Dimitri Pelo and Dane Carlow bullied their way over the Quins’ line early in the second half to take the score to 18-all.
Howell then powered over for his third but Gregory Mounis made the most of Quins’ indiscipline, crossing the whitewash with 13 minutes remaining.
After Quins had two tries disallowed the French team held on for another impressive win.
