Relieved Dolphin survive late scare

WITH the stakes so high, one team hunting a top-three finish and the other fighting for survival, it was probably inevitable this clash at Musgrave Park yesterday would go to the wire.

It lived up to expectation and the result hinged on a last-minute penalty attempt by Young Munster’s Alan Kingsley, which moved off course at the last second, struck an upright and was cleared to safety.

Although it was a tense struggle, the team that wanted it most won it, a fact illustrated by disappointed Young Munster coach Mike Prendergast.
