BEATING Shannon in the AIB League was a welcome first for Dolphin as they preserved their unbeaten home record at Musgrave Park yesterday and jumped into contention for a top four place.

SHANNON coach Mick Galwey had stern words for his troops despite a 14-points AIB All-Ireland Cup victory at the Mardyke on Saturday.

SHANNON’S renowned spirit has rarely been seen to greater effect than at Clifford Park yesterday when they overcame a strong Cork Constitution side and the handicap of playing the last 20 minutes with 14 men to advance to the ODM Munster Senior Cup final.
