Dolphin hopes for fitting finale

posts2.jpgThe curtain comes down on the rugby season tonight with Newport entertaining Ludlow in the final of the ResourceBank Shropshire Cup.

It will be an emotional night for Fishes star Stephen Dolphin, who will be skippering the side for the last time.

Dolphin has presided over the club’s meteoric rise from Midlands Four rugby to the heights of Midlands One, and narrowly missed out on a Twickenham final this season as his side was beaten in the semi-finals of the EDF Energy Intermediate Cup.

He has one more chance to lift some silverware tonight though, as Newport look to regain the cup after losing out to Whitchurch last season.

Whitchurch were due to contest this season’s final too, but withdrew last week - with beaten semi-finalists Ludlow given a last minute invitation to take their place for the final.

The action at Forton Road gets under way from 6.30pm.
