Ford says Dolphin must step up a notch against Mary’s

It has been a disappointing start to the season for Ulster Bank League champions St Mary’s College, and Dolphin are keen to heap on the misery at Musgrave Park today.

However, Dolphin coach Steve Ford believes his side must improve on the “decent” performance in their win over Shannon last week if they are to build momentum for a title challenge.

He explained: “We’ve got St Mary’s, Cork Con and then Clontarf, so we’ll know a lot more about where we are after those particular games.
