Ulster strung a promising 70 minutes together and beat Edinburgh Reivers in rugby's European Cup. Roy Evans left Anfield after 30 years but Liverpool kept losing. Also losing, albeit gallantly, were Ireland's soccer team, who eventually made it to Belgrade only to lose 1-0 to Yugoslavia. Ballingarry beat St Vincent's in the All-Ireland club camogie final and Nick Faldo led England to the golf World Cup in Auckland. After stuttering against Romania, the Irish rugby team faced the Springboks in Lansdowne Road and held their own. Catherina McKiernan won the Amsterdam marathon, but missed out on a world record and a $500,000 bonus by a little over a minute. After trying to KO Wayne McCullough by the sheer force of his invective, Prince Naseem left Atlantic City declaring that the Irish boxer deserved a re-match.
