Con romp to Charity Cup final victory

Cork Constitution 34 Dolphin 17

It all came down to the extra pace that Constitution enjoyed out wide and they will give particular credit to New Zealand out-half Stephen McCall who played a major role in Dolphin’s destruction in those vital minutes before half-time.

Scrum-half Pat McCarthy, the former CBC, Munster and Irish Schools player was equally influential in that opening spell. While Shane O’Halloran scored a spectacular 12-minute try for Dolphin, McCarthy kept the Temple Hill side in slight control with penalties on either side of that try.
