Dolphin get the drop on Con

MOST of the drama was crammed into the final few minutes of this AIB League 1A derby at Musgrave Park on Saturday.

A late drop goal from the captain Barry Keeshan gave Dolphin the points and, more importantly, ended a staggeringly long wait for competitive success over their city rivals.

With the Constitution dressing room stunned into silence, the celebrations were in keeping with the fact that Dolphin’s last meaningful victory over the Temple Hill club was a Munster Senior League game in 1989.
