Con happy to accept Dolphin’s gifts

TEN days ago, Dolphin proudly boasted an unbeaten home record that stretched back nearly two years to March 2007, but that must seem like an age ago after Cork Constitution raided Musgrave Park for the second week in succession.

Having weathered a late Dolphin fightback to knock them out of the AIB Cup last weekend, champions Con are back on top of the All-Ireland League after they outsmarted their neighbours yesterday.

Con have seemingly blown off the cobwebs and put an indifferent pre-Christmas period behind them, passing the 40-point mark for the third league game in succession. Rarely have they put up such a total while playing so indifferently, but that it came against their local rivals will be of immense pleasure to all at Temple Hill.
