Harvard Club battled back from a 12-0 half time deficit to register a keenly contested 22-12 upset win over Stag Trinidad Northern in a round four Trinidad and Tobago Rugby Football Union Toyota championship division match on Saturday at the Queens Park Savannah.

A track record that would have made them match day favorites. Harvard however had other ideas as Northern were missing key players through injuries.
With their third win in four outings Harvard retained second position and Northern third on the Toyota standings.
In other Toyota matches on Saturday defending champions Caribs got past a determined Royalians 34-15.
While Rainbow whipped Police 53-7 to register their first win for the season .
The Toyota championship will take a three week break as attention will now shift to the Marcus Minshall knock out first round matches.
