Dolphin building up head of steam in hunt for glory

The remaining big challengers for the Ulster Bank title will have sat bolt upright after taking stock of Dolphin’s clinical bonus point victory at Musgrave Park on Saturday.

It was only one of a few weekend results that turned the campaign on its head, but a distinct sign that the months ahead should produce a raging battle for supremacy, with the Ballyphehane side lining-up for a place in the queue for glory.

Dolphin utterly deserved their win, their bonus point as well, as they put St Mary’s to the sword for much of this lively contest played in cold and damp conditions.
