Bryn Cunningham was back in action after a lengthy absence

Ulster Ravens qualified for the British and Irish Cup semi-final by trouncing a dismal Aberavon outfit at Ravenhill on Friday night.

The home side led 31-0 at half-time and added exactly the same amount of points in the second half.

Ian Whitten, Declan Fitzpatrick, Robbie Diack, fit-again Bryn Cunningham and Cillian Willis scored first-half tries.

Tommy Seymour (two), Michael Allen, Mark McCrea and replacement Ian Humphreys added second-half touchdowns.

Fly-half Niall O'Connor converted six of the tries.

Cunningham was making his return to action after a lengthy absence because of a hamstring injury.

Ulster Ravens: B Cunningham; M McCrea, M Allen, I Whitten, T Seymour; N O'Connor, C Willis; B Young, A Kyriacou (capt), D Fitzpatrick; N McComb, E O'Donoghue; TJ Anderson, S La Valla, R Diack.
