However, Cork came back with Barry Rafferty pulling in a John Kenny pass and turning it into a 42 yard touchdown score. Dragons defensive linemen Neil Holland and Paul Singleton helped shut down the Admirals running game in the fourth quarter and the Dragons sealed the win with a 2 yard run by Matt Quinn. The Dragons move to 3-1 and the Admirals drop to 2-1.
