Riordan pounces to punish Clontarf

Clontarf 17 Old Belvedere 20

Clontarf’s hopes of retaining their Ulster Bank League crown took a further dent last night as Danny Riordan’s late drop goal gave Old Belvedere a 20-17 comeback win.

After an error-ridden first half, during which Josh Glynn and Alan Hughes scored a penalty apiece, Clontarf seemed to have the game in their grasp when converted tries from Ariel Robles and Matt D’Arcy pushed them 17-3 clear.
