John Glackin, President of Clontarf FC, commented: "The demand for instant information and constant communication seems to be increasing.

"The App developed by KrunkSoft for Clontarf Rugby Club will enable us to meet this demand for our ever growing membership who wish to stay up to date with all that is happening and that is planned for the club.

"We are very privileged to be the first club in Ireland to have such a communications facility made available to us.

"Normally you buy an App for your iPhone but in this case people like me will be buying an iPhone for this App!"

KrunkSoft's Barry O'Mahony said: "We were delighted to work with Clontarf on this project. Communicating effectively with members is of the utmost importance to clubs with a large member base and we have provided Clontarf with an innovative new channel to reach their members.

"The club has continued to develop amid tough conditions over the past two seasons and we hope that the Clontarf FC App will help to continue this development."

The app is available free to download from the app store or iTunes.
