The Bulls got back to winning ways with a 24-22 win against Harlequins.

They had needed a response following last week's defeat at St Helens and just about provided it, despite a Karl Pryce hat-trick.

The giant centre was a constant thorn in his old club's side and opened the scoring in the 15th minute.

The Bulls hit back when Brett Kearney sent in Olivier Elima, Ah Van converting, and scored again on the stroke of half-time through Matt Diskin.

Pryce displayed some dazzling footwork to score again three minutes after the break and Luke Gale's conversion levelled the scores.

But the Bulls enjoyed a significant purple patch, scoring twice in the space of ten minutes.

Kearney scored off Marc Herbert's towering bomb and Ah Van converted before adding a penalty goal.

Paul Sykes' try virtually made the game safe, Ah Van converting, but Quins still scored late on through Tony Clubb and Pryce.
