Ulster took the lead after eight minutes through Aishling O'Connell's try after a wave of early pressure on the Connacht defence, with Ella Durkan converting to give Ulster the perfect start. Captain Nicole Fowley's conversion brought the sides level before Connacht went ahead through a well-worked try finished off by Orla Fenton and once more converted by Fowley.
With Connacht down to 14 players, Ulster took the opportunity to pull back a try through Ella Durkan following a penetrating run from Emma Jordan, with Beth Cregan's try giving the northern province a three-point advantage at the midpoint.
