"We welcome Nicky Kenny as our Coach, having taken over from Andrew Poynter," said new captain David Delany. "We wish Andrew the very best in his new ventures. Nicky brings a wealth of experience to the role, having being hugely successful with Merrion CC.

"We welcome Patrick Xie to the club. Patrick plays his cricket for Parramatta District Cricket Club in Sydney. We hope Patrick has a successful and enjoyable stay in Clontarf, and can help shape some of our future stars. I know he will receive the full support of the players and club members.

"We have many young players who have achieved success at the underage representative levels in recent years - most notably Ethan Marshall & Reuben Wilson who are currently touring Zimbabwe with the Ireland u19s. Ben McCarthy, Yash Bala and Luke Thomson continue to improve and integrate into the squad, adding depth and quality. We look forward to working with all our young players and, hopefully, pushing them onto even higher levels. 

"Robert Forrest is our 2nd team Captain. Traditionally, we have had a very successful 2nd team, and no doubt, there has been a knock-on bonus for our 1st team. Rarely has a 2nd team had a better cricketer as captain than 'Bobbo' ! 

"I am honoured to be Captain for the 2025 season. I take over the reins from my brother, Eoghan, and as you can imagine, these are boots that are not easily filled."
