Hi everybody,

Is there any interest in getting a quotes section going again on the website? 

They're great fun to read of a slow Monday in work and  could be submitted to a trustworthy member to be vetted so as to prevent obscene/offensive ones going up.....just the stupid stuff people say in training/match days...like "Weston Shmeston" (Anonymous) and "Let's win those 60:30s lads" (Kellier) etc etc...

Billy.

Time for the highlight of the year. It's the annual Tarf Factor 2010. You know the format...the big hitters from the music industry take time out from their world tours and gather in the world famous Castle Avenue Arena to battle it out to be crowned T - Factor winner 2010. There hasn't been this much talent scheduled since Live Aid '85! We'll be looking to get involvement from all 8 teams with plenty of boyband, girlband and individual performances. All entrants should get back to me as s...

Below is the schedule for the National Indoor Finals which take place on sat and sun in the National Basketball arena in Tallaght.

Sat

10.10 Clontarf v Glenanne

12.40 Clontarf v Railway

sun

9.00 Clontarf v Pembroke Wanderers

the mens semi finals start at 2.30 on sunday.

All support would be welcome as we push for a place in European competition.

The under 17 girls beat Hermes today 4-0 at mt temple to book a place in the under 17 league final , which will take place in st columbus school on march 14th.
After being held scoreless in the first half Ciara williams opened the scoring after a neat move found her unmarked in the D to fire home. Anna Ledwith tapped home at the back post to make it 2-0, Emma garry added a 3rd from a well worked short corner move before Jen Keating finished the rout with a brilliant individual goal i...

On behalf of the Club as a whole best of luck to Luke Hayden, Richie Forrest and Stephen Ludgate who are attending the Leinster u21 trials on Sunday 31st out in Columbas school at 6 - 8 pm I believe.

It's a testament to the effort put in by many people regarding youth development over the last 5 -6 years that the Club is in a position to send 3 guys to the trials.

Hope to see you in blue lads!!

Billy.

All,

Unfortunately due to lack of interest, Bowling / Q-Zar scheduled for Sunday evening has been cancelled. Anyone wishing to head out themselves should contact LeisurePlex on 01 8485722 and arrange. Apologies to those who signed up!

On a brighter note, all systems go for Saturday night in Dicey's! Please remember to show up early and with sufficient I.D as per previous posts. Feel free to invite friends etc. Should be a good one!

Thanks

Ciarán

So far we have 13 people who have bothered to confirm their attendance at bowling / Q-Zar on Sunday evening. I'm afraid my telepathy powers are weak at the moment so whenever people decide that they're capable of making a decision in their lives, can they let me know if they are attending or not! I'm going to start cancelling lanes if I do not get sufficient response... I'm not going to wait around this time so if i dont hear from you by Wednesday, ye can go ................ ...

Hi Guys,

I really need an umpire for Saturday, Corinthians away @2.30, can anyone help???

Thanks,

Roy.

All,

Dicey's usually operate a strict over 21s policy, however, they have kindly lowered this to over 18's to accomodate Clontarf Club members. In return, they have requested that anyone under 24, or looks particularly young, should have Garda or Passport Identification. Hopefully, we won't experience any problems but you have been warned.............

Cheers

Ciarán

Hi,

Anyone available to umpire for the ladies 3rds out in UCD at 14.45?....PLEASE :)

My number is 0879031780,if you can, let me know.

Thanks!

The Mens' 1sts had a hugely enjoyable trip to Cork this weekend where they faced C of I in the Irish Senior Cup. Although our hosts ran out 6-1 winners the scoreline probably doesn't fairly reflect the course of the game.

Boasting two current Irish internationals, CI got off to a perfect start, scoring inside 60secs when 'tarf failed to clear the ball after a long John Jermyn aerial. Their second came not long after but was itself followed by a period of sustained pr...

Hi Folks,

Can you post a comment with any results you know of from the weekend please?  (Team, Opposition, Resulit, Score)

Wal.

See you there!

Apologies for the re-post...

Adults,

Pencils at the ready, Town has asked us for a rematch! Planning another big night out in town on Sat 30th of this month... Location is currently being finalised but should be a good one. Pretty much same simple format as last time minus the sweaty football fans....a female prerequisite (although I'm not partial to sweaty blokes either!). Anyway, keep an eye out for further details and pass the word around!

Cheers

Cia...

All,

Going to have another Sunday evening session of Bowling and Qzar on the 31st.

Don't leave it until the last minute as you might miss out!

Thanks

To further prepare for their upcoming cupset, The Mens' 1sts have arranged a friendly away to Sutts and will not be at training. However the pitch is still of course available to all.

Cheers.

It looks as if the pitch will be ok for tonight barring any massive dip in temperatures for the rest of the day.

To prepare for their respective weekend games after the enforced break, the1sts have arranged to play 2nds. 2nds to wear dark tops, 1sts to wear whites.

Cheers.

Got a little ahead of myself there announcing training - it now seems there is a a snowstorm on the loose!

Training cancelled tonight girls - enjoy making snowmen and snowball fights x

Hi all - yes it's snowing but we can still get a good run in tonight!

Meeting at 7.15 in the Carpark opposite Casa Pasta for a run on the grass. It'll be all the more rewarding in the snow - wrap up warm!

Hi,

Mens' 1sts friendly tonight has been cancelled due to frozen pitch in Sutton. Furthermore the Bull Ring is frozen too so there is no mens' training tonight, tues 5th Jan. 

cheers.

The Christmas party may be a hazy memory for most of you but fortunately the social committee were on hand to capture CHC's tacky festivities.

I have finally uploaded the latest social snaps to CHC's facebook page so have a look - don't worry you all look gorgeous!!

Alright lads..

just in case any of you didnt get the text message. We will return to Indoor training on Monday 11th at Mount Temple 7-8pm. please bring along 3 euro.

Time to prepare for the final 8.

cheers

Abbo

we are also going to go running on the seafront...meeting at 7.15 as per skelly's message. please text me if you can't make it.

andy.

Just to follow up on my comment earlier....the pitch is currently frozen so the 2s and 3s (and anyone else who wants to join us!) are meeting at 7.15 tonight in the Carpark opposite Casa Pasta to go running on the grass.

Please wear lots of warm layers and old runners as the grass could be quite mucky.

See you all then, Skelly

Hi,

Mens' 1sts game home to Monkstown this weekend is, I think, scheduled for a 2pm start.

Mens' 1sts ISC match away to Cork C of I is scheduled for a 2pm start in Garryduff. (I don't know how to put this in the fixtures section!)

Happy New Year everyone! Just wondering if anyone might know the current state of the pitch and if it will be suitable for training later?

Thanks, Skelly x

Training in Thurs is 2pm as this was the time that suited most people given the night that's in it. I believe GB will be sending messages around.

Match away to Fingal on Saturday 2nd Jan is a 1.30pm start.

Happy New Year!!!!

Congratulations to ex Clontarf member Rachel Barnett who has been selected in the irish under 18 girls panel.

Hi,

Mens' training as normal on Tuesday 29th this week, arrangements will be made then re Thursday which is obviously New Year's Eve. 1sts play away to Fingal on Sat Jan 2nd.

Cheers.

Clontarf qualified for the final 8 of the national indoor trophy after a cracking debut day performance at Dcu in the group of death.

First up for the tarf were Ucd and 40 minutes later we left the court delighted with an 8-0 win, a smooth transition from the outdoor game too the indoor style. Goalscorers were Poynts (3), abbo (2) nate (2).

Second up were last years runners up Ymca, 1-1 at half time unfortuantly though we couldnt convert some chances that came our way and w...

Hi,

There's no Mens' training this week, Tues 22nd or Christmas eve.

Jenny Eadie didn't buy it. She had been to Specsavers and noticed that Clontarf 5ths fielded two goalies last week. The strict umpire penalised the extra kicker with a penalty stroke following a goal-line foot stop. Unfortunately the stroke was converted and we lost 1 -0.

The 5ths hereby declare that this practice only happened last week and has nothing to do with the previous brilliant unbeaten run in all competitions.

Normal service will resume in 2010.

Guy in my office was robbed & seriously beaten up last night by a taxi man & his mate.

Taxi man asked if he could drop him off just before his house as he had another fare. As he got out of the taxi, the taximan got out and taxi mans mate appeared.

Beat him up, and robbed him! This apparently is not that rare and has increased over last few months, espically attacks on girls.

Pls guys be extra careful this christmas, take a picture on your phone of the taxi ...

The Mens' 1sts play host to Railway at 3pm on Saturday, and not 3.30pm as stated in the fixtures section of this site.

Massive game for us so all support will be well and truly appreciated, plus Christmas party that night!!!

See you then!

Hi, Just wondering if any word on timings for Saturday's matches? Mens 1st & Ladies 1st

Cheers,

Zoe

The under 17 girls got there league campaign back on track after thumping Loreto 8-0 today. Sarah Murray opened the scoring in the 18th minute but that was it for the first half . The second half though we played some brilliant hockey and were alot more clinical in the opponents circle adding 7 more goals. Goal scorers, Sarah Murray x 5, Jen Keating, Anna Ledwith and Ciara Williams. Special mention to Captain Emer Mullins who played well and forged a strong midfield partnership with Sadbh ...

Season's greetings to one and all,

For the past few years the good people of Clontarf HC have diligently descended on McDaid's in town (off Grafton St, just incase there are 2 of them!!)  and proceeded to drink the place dry, generally on the last working day before Christmas. Funnily enough this practice met with everyone's approval and caught on quite quickly.

This yearly custom has now become an annual tradition and it's on again this y...

The 5th team play Weston in the league tomorrow. We faced the same opposition last week and came away with a fabulous 2-0 win with goals from Lucy and Dee. It was a fabulous performance by all. Great defending by the ten outfield players kept Weston to just two chances in the entire game.

Hoping we can repeat this great performance!

Hi all,

I know this is a long shot, particularly since I've never found an umpire through the site!!!

If anyone is available we need an umpire for the mens 3rds in Railway @ 3pm tomorrow.

Please let me know if you can help, thanks,

Roy (0871332242)

Clontarf Mens team played there first Indoor match on wednesday night out in KH,the opposition was the might of indoor specialist Railway Union.

Railway started brightly and took a 2-0 lead but Clontarf started to get the hang of decent side boards and the longer court and hit back when Big Man Lenno fired in clontarf's first ever indoor goal. Railway extend there lead to 3-1 but goals in quick succesion by the Forrest's brothers brought the game back to all square at 3-3.
