Scanlon try snatches dramatic  win for  Con

Con were trailing 28-10 after 61 minutes following a three-try burst from Dolphin straddling half-time, only for the home side to grab the bragging rights and a bonus-point win with late tries from Cathal Quinn, Gerry Hurley and Scanlon’s second of the night.

The celebrations were tempered by an injury to Dolphin’s double try scorer John Quill, the openside flanker stretchered off with his neck in a brace after going down just before Con’s winning try.
