Ultimately is was the sloppy weather that was to have the greatest impact on this game. On a messy day against a big Con pack it doesn’t help to have a few of your gorillas unavailable. As the game moved into the final quarter and substitutions began to have a telling effect , it was [...]

Clontarf 26 Dolphin 31
If there was a medal for the volume and number of profanities issued by a coach then Andy Wood would have a big shiny one now because there were aspects of Clontarfs performance on Saturday that were straight out of a keystone cops film. These games tend to happen when emotional bubbles get burst. Clontarf [...]
Lansdowne 32 Clontarf 25
Clontarf travelled to the Aviva on Saturday with more than a party-wrecking agenda in mind. It doesn’t take long studying the season’s statistics to realise what a stunning year Lansdowne have had, so, for the visitors this was a perfect opportunity to test their excellent recent form against the Champions elect. For neutrals in attendance [...]

UL Bohs 7 – 47 Clontarf
Clontarf continued their murderous form with a multi-try demolition of UL Bohs in Limerick on a sunny Saturday at Annacotty. Having discussed the importance of a strong start the visitors were delighted to rack up 14 unanswered points within 8 minutes as UL struggled to live with the early pace. It didn’t help the home [...]
Old Belvedere 13 Clontarf 41
Friday night saw the latest instalment of Irish Rugby’s Hatfields versus the McCoys rivalry as Old Belvedere welcomed their old friends and relatives from the Northside. The last time these two sides met the game was nip and tuck and was finally settled in favour of Tarf by a full time penalty from Richie Lane. [...]
Clontarf 35 Young Munster 10
Rugby is a funny game. Sometimes it seems that teams have a hex or an Indian sign over each other that can last for seasons and then suddenly disappear with a bounce of a ball. Clontarf could be justified in viewing St Marys with a degree of suspicion. There is surely something paranormal about that [...]
Clontarf 32 Shannon 17
Clontarf’s bonus point victory over Shannon on Saturday will be blessed relief to the home faithful. The victory sees ‘Tarf secure in joint fourth in the League, seven points ahead of the leading team in the chasing pack. The fact that Lansdowne have stormed off into the distance and are 10 points ahead of Munsters [...]
Clontarf 17 – St. Mary’s 19
It is hard not to have a deal of sympathy for the Clontarf squad after this effort on a windy Friday night in Castle Avenue. In contrast to the recent fixture in Templeville Road Clontarf pretty much got the tactics correct with some judicious use of the high ball which had Marys scrambling on numerous [...]
Shannon 14 – Clontarf 20
“There’s many a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip” Old English proverb It’s hard to believe that the AIL is only half over with 9 games still to play. A study of the league table would lead some to believe that it’s all over bar the shouting whereas the reality is that there is [...]
