Dolphin pile on pain for Bohs

Dolphin 27 UL Bohemians 9

As the respective packs waited for the game to restart with a 73rd minute scrum following an injury, the Dolphin forwards were all chat, still geeing each other up even though they were home and hosed. By contrast, the Bohs pack stood not as one, but as eight. Hands on hips, seeking the solace of their individual thoughts, no doubt baffled as to how they were well beaten on the scoreboard despite making most of the running at Musgrave Park.

Shannon’s stunning demolition of Cork Con has left Bohs bottom of the Ulster Bank League Division 1A table this morning, and they have five games to avoid going straight back down after last season’s promotion.
