Both sides gave their all with some big tackling as both were keen to get the upper hand early on.

The scores were level at half time though as Billy Kinnear went over from close range before Luke Alderwick added the extras.

In the second half it was Pembroke who got the all-important go-ahead score as Craig Williams went over. The conversion was missed.

Try as they might the Quins could not add to their score and it meant Pembroke held on for a second derby success of the season.
