Clontarf Cricket Club Ground Pitch Report:
The pitch at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground is renowned for its attributes that heavily benefit fast bowlers.

These characteristics are further accentuated in overcast weather conditions, presenting an additional hurdle for the batting team.

Teams often prefer to bowl first after winning the toss here, as chasing is generally regarded as the more advantageous option on this surface.
