Dolphin took another step towards retaining Division 2B status with a comprehensive home victory on Saturday. It was the visitors who with a strong wind at their back started very strongly. They shocked Dolphin with a converted try, a penalty, then an unconverted try in the opening 20 mins. A converted try from Craig O’Connell with the extras from Daryl Foley reduced the gap to 7-15, keeping Dolphin in touching distance. Enniscorthy got a 3rd try to make it 7-20, Dolphin kept plugging away, a series of penalties led to a Enniscorthy YC. Dolphin crossed the line through Cam O’Shaughnessy, once ..read more

Who would have seen this coming, scoring 34 points away from home and being denied victory with the last play. Nothing went according to plan, the weather conditions in Belfast during the week meant the game was switched to a nearby 4G pitch and a delayed kick off. The home side had the benefit of a strong wind in the opening half, while it was across the pitch it did favour Quins. A quick ball out left Dolphin shy of numbers on the right and after four mins  Dolphin were 0-5 down. Worse was to follow when after 10 mins, a clearance kick was blocked down and ran over the line by the posts ..read more
