Inch Rovers (Cork) 2-14 Ballymacarbery (Waterford) 0-8

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’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.

SHANNON and Garryowen look in good shape ahead of the new AIB League season next weekend.
