Connacht moved off the bottom of the by beating Edinburgh 11-7 at the Sportsground.
The home side were 7-3 in arrears at half-time, with Craig Ronaldson missing three penalties in the wind after converting his first on 20 minutes.
A Roddy Grant try, converted by Carl Bezuidenhout, had put Edinburgh into a 10th minute lead.
Kieran Marmion should have had a try early in the second half.
Edinburgh No.8 Cornell du Preez pounced, offside, at the scrum-half as he eyed the tryline. Connacht made the most of the advantage, however, lock Michael Swift eventually being credited with the try after impressive use of the rolling maul.
After Ronaldson’s conversion attempt struck the post, kicking responsibilities fell to replacement Parks, and his straightforward penalty on 65 minutes closed off the scoring.
