Clontarf shoot to top of League with Galwegians defeat

CLONTARF went to the head of the AIB All-Ireland League Division 1 on Saturday after Galwegians surrendered a 16-3 half-time lead to them at Crowley Park.

The north Dubliners racked up a 25-16 win and also collected their fifth bonus point in nine games as Warren O'Kelly, Conor Mahony and substitutes Simon O'Donnell and Darragh O'Shea breached the home side's line.

They face second-placed Shannon on March 26 and at Oak Park, the reigning champions stuttered to a 17-7 defeat of bottom side County Carlow, with Munster hooker Jerry Flannery's 79th-minute try the difference.
