Tries: Cave, Marshall, Henry Cons: Humphreys 2 Pens: Humphreys 3
GLASGOW 14
Try: Nathan Pens: Weir 3
Ulster battled to a deserved win over Glasgow at Ravenhill in their opening match in the Pro12 League.
Glasgow started the better and led through an early try by former Connacht centre Troy Nathan.
Ulster hit back and led 15-8 after an intercept try by Darren Cave and a touchdown in the corner by their alert scrum-half Paul Marshall.
Ian Humphreys stretched Ulster's lead with three penalties before Chris Henry was pushed over for a late try.
The Irish province pushed for a fourth try but missed out on the bonus point.
"We were a bit rusty, but the plan was to get the win," said skipper Henry.
"It is disappointing the fourth try did not come but, for a first outing, we will take the win."
