We kicked arse and took home the trophy to prove it!

Clontarf is an annual tournament where steel weapon clubs are invited to put forward a team. The event is held at Sixtus Lodge in the Ruahine Forest Park in late August, providing an awesome backdrop to the event and chilling temperatures overnight.

As a competitive interclub, event with its own variation of the combat rules, Clontarf is a little rougher than some other events. The special rules for this event change each year, but inevitably they encourage fighters to wear armour on the field.
