Garryowen withstand brave Dolphin fightback

They don’t look like title contenders, but Garryowen picked up four crucial Ulster Bank League points with this hard-earned win over Dolphin at Dooradoyle on Saturday.

Victory from the match they have in hand could propel them into fifth place, eight points behind leaders St Mary’s.

But based on this display they might find that a bridge too far. Comfortable 19-3 leaders at half time, they allowed Dolphin to dominate the second 40 minutes but nervously, they held on for a one-score win.
