Clontarf Football Club , on the record books was founded in 1917 but it is unclear as to who the founding members were but they are thought to have been locals and members of the British Army serving on the Bull Wall.
The Club played on the sea front pitch in what was then the grounds of Arthur Edward Guinness, Baron Ardilaun (1 November 1840 – 20 January 1915) he was an Irish businessman, politician, and philanthropist.
It was said ,but never confirmed , that his family made a present of the ground to the members of the New Clontarf Football Club but from then on there was no trace of any Club records relating to Clontarf FC until the summer of 1957 and then again the Club went missing for another 23 years.
David Tobin who play's with the under 15 Premier Team has been selected to play for the Ireland Team in Qatar next week. The Committee of Clontarf FC Schoolboy/Junior Section
would like to wish David all the best in this game and for the future.
