The Dublin Dragons recorded
their second victory, defeating the Cork Admirals 26-12 in a tense battle in
Lucan. The Dragons jumped out to a 12-0 lead with two touchdowns in the first
quarter. Dragons linebacker, John Durrad intercepted a John Kenny pass and
returned it 30 yards for the first touchdown. The second touchdown came on a 6
yard run from tailback Dave Wheeler after the Admirals failed to move the ball
on their second possession of the game. The Admirals got back into the game in
the second quarter, when, after driving downfield, quarterback John Kenny scored
on a 2yd sneak into the endzone. In the third quarter, the Dragons increased
their lead with a 5 yard run by fullback Al Burke. The two point conversion by
Rob Olwill gave the Dragons a 14 point lead at the end of the third. 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.
