When I was younger I had this fantasy that when I was older and flush with time and money that I would build a kit car. Huge wheels, sexy paint job , major rumble from the vastly overpowered  engine etc etc . There were always a few niggling doubts though; the main one being that [...]

Green Shoots But No Bouquets
Clontarf put in a stirring display against a strong Blackrock side in Stradbrook on Saturday but were ultimately undone in the last quarter as the home side rode some outrageous luck to register a victory. This was a great game between two committed sides looking to put some daylight between them [...]

By Kevin O’Siochain
Cork Con clung on in the end to record a narrow home victory despite a late Clontarf surge. Heavy overnight rain cast the fixture in some doubt but the teams enjoyed perfect playing conditions at a pristine Temple Hill. The final result, in a match where the teams were never more than a [...]

By Kevin O’Siochain
The ghost of players past returned to haunt Clontarf as they crashed out of the AIB Cup at the hands of Belvedere.
Former Tarf fullback Conal Keane secured victory for the home side with a penalty minutes from full time in a closely contested fixture at Anglesea Road. Enforced changes on both side detracted [...]

Clontarf, who started out as firm underdogs for this AIB clash, reminded early front runners Blackrock of their proven league pedigree. Ultimately the home side made the most of the slight wind and slope advantages enjoyed by both sides at an increasingly wet but playable Castle Avenue.
Clontarfs’ sluggish start to the season continued in the [...]

Reality fell slowly but definitely in Castle Avenue on Saturday as a large Dolphin pack playing at 60 per cent, for the first half, gave the home side all the early breaks. After a positional tweak, and a bit of a gee up at half time, the Dolphin pack totally dominated the close exchanges in [...]

Clontarf opened their AIB League campaign on Saturday in blustery Templeville road and by the 27th minute had blown up in a flurry of basic errors which manifested themselves in a 24 point deficit and a bonus point for the home side.
The pity of it was that Clontarf had started relatively brightly and were strong [...]
