Junior C's hosted Pereguines on Sat in an entertaining challenge match. Clontarf ran out easy winners with Ian Sunderland (1-8) in superb form and also notable performances from the midfield paring of Alan Vale / Niall O'Reilly and full forward Steve Moore. The match saw the return to action after injury and an Adult Football debut for Colm McCabe who had a fine hour between the posts. Steve Moore opened the scoring with a converted penalty in the 1st minute, while the biggest cheer of the night was for half back Matt O'Neill who ventured forward to score his first point in 14 years.

Under 9 – Footballers competed in the Ger Canavan Cup

Team of the week are the Clontarf Under 9's who put in a very credible performance in the ger canavan cup in o'tooles which ran from the 8th to the 10th july. Having performed poorly in their opening match against na fianna they raised their game substantially thereafter. They dispatched sylvesters 28 - 8 in the 2nd match they went on to beat naomh marnog handsomely in the semi final.

In the final they were beaten by 4 scores by - you guessed it - na fianna. the game got away from them in the last 5 minutes as they only had 10 mins rest after a tough semi final win against marnog!! well done all the lads.
