Coach hails ‘immense win’ for Old Belvedere

Dolphin 15 Old Belvedere 18

“We had to dig deep and Dolphin didn’t make it easy for us,” said Werahiko as he lauded centre Conal Keane for snatching victory in the dying seconds.

The visitors didn’t make things easy for themselves when reduced to 14 men after flanker Karl Miller was sent off for a dangerous tackle just before half time. Thereafter Belvedere appeared content to hold out for a draw before Keane, inspirational this season, produced a dramatic late drop goal to secure the spoils.
