Byrne drives 'Rock to win

Blackrock College 25 Dolphin 9

Former Leinster and Ireland hooker Shane Byrne touched down as Blackrock College got the better of Dolphin at Stradbrook this afternoon.

Byrne grabbed his first try since his return to AIB League rugby to help 'Rock rise five places in the Division One table up to sixth.

After a third-minute try from home winger Niall Morris, three penalties from Dolphin number 10 Barry Keeshan shot them ahead. But tries before the break from Byrne and centre John Quigley proved crucial for ‘Rock, who led 19-9 at half-time.
