Dolphin hold off UCC to stay in chase

With a 22-9 lead, Dolphin appeared to be coasting until College - with two players in the sin-bin for six minutes and one down from the 65th minute - threw caution to the wind and reverted to the style of play we have come to expect of university sides.

It was productive, as they snatched a 77th-minute try and came within inches of scoring another that could well have put paid to Dolphin’s chances of going up. Dolphin survived that late trauma but were then given bad news from Limerick - fellow promotion contenders Young Munster scored an injury-time try against Bective to secure a bonus point and move a point ahead with just one game to play.
