Teams from the other Clontarf Academies of Moree, Inverell, Quirindi, Narrabri, Tamworth, Hunter River, Irrawang and Newcastle descended on Singleton culminating 106 boys.

The carnival displayed the traditional 'Clontarf Spirit' of bringing everyone into the game and ensuring a fun inclusive experience for all.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for all the junior Clontarf boys who have achieved pleasing school attendance results above 85%, to come together, play some football and connect with the other academy boys," Singleton Director Clark Stanford expressed.

"It reinforces that they're part of something far bigger than just their own academy. "

The Grand Final featured the Hunter River and Singleton Academies playing out a tightly contested game with individual and collective flashes of brilliance.

The end score was a draw of 16 points with the Singleton Academy scoring the first try and therefore victorious.

The carnival was deemed a huge success and will grow into pivotal calendar event for the region.

Established in 2000, the Clontarf Foundation is an Australia-wide not-for-profit organisation that exists to improve the education, discipline, self-esteem, life skills and employment prospects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander boys and equip them to participate more meaningfully in society.
