No excuses as Ford ready for revenge

COACH Steve Ford made no excuses following Dolphin’s AIB League defeat to Cork Constitution at Temple Hill last week. A week on, a rematch at the same venue (2.30pm), and with a place in the league final at stake, neither is he about to start.

He might have thought his side had lost a golden opportunity to take part in the play-offs when Constitution kicked a late penalty that denied Dolphin a losing bonus point in the 23-13 game last week.

But unwittingly, Garryowen did Dolphin a favour by snatching a 9-8 win over Shannon and Dolphin stayed where they were at the start of the day — in third place — with a rematch against the AIB Cup holders on the cards.
