Con and Dolphin set for derby thriller

Rugby fans will be spoilt for choice tonight as the Ulster Bank League keeps up its cracking early-season pace with a number of mouthwatering ties set for Dublin, Cork and Limerick.

With seven teams battling for supremacy after four games in Division 1A, this evening’s derby match-ups carry even greater significance.

Cork Constitution’s battle with Dolphin at Temple Hill, for instance, could decide who hangs on to local bragging rights for a while, each of the clubs having notched up a win in local and provincial club cup tournaments earlier this season.
