Carrick Swan Notes Monday July 15th
Adult Hurling, Football, & Camogie
Congratulations to the Carrick Swan hurlers who captured the South Senior hurling title on Sunday with a magnificent 9-point victory over Killenaule. The win cements our place on top of the South Tipperary Senior Hurling Roll of Honour with 25 titles won to Killenaule’s 23.
Well done to the Senior hurling players and management team on a superb display.
Our attention now turns to our next game, which is Round 1 of the Seamus O’Riain Cup and takes place on Friday July 26th in Littleton where we take on Upperchurch-Drombane.
Well done to our Junior ‘A’ hurlers who defeated Ballylooby/Castlegrace to top their group in the South Junior ‘A’ Hurling Championship, with a game to spare, on Friday night. The win qualified us for the South Quarter-Final, which is expected to take place in early August. Before then, we’ll play our final group game against Father Sheehy’s on Sunday next, July 21st.
Commiserations to our u19 footballers who exited the championship last week with a loss to Fethard. Our attention now turns to the small ball, on Friday evening, when we take on Ballingarry in Round 1 of the South u19 ‘A’ Hurling Championship. The game takes place in Fethard GAA pitch, at 7.45pm. The other teams in this championship are St. Mary’s, Killenaule, and Mullinahone.
Our Junior ‘B’ Camogie ladies are expecting fixtures for their upcoming championship in the coming weeks. We’re expecting the championship to begin in Mid-August once the Tipperary Junior & Senior Camogie teams finish their championships. They both play All-Ireland Semi-Finals over the next two weekends. Both of luck to both teams, and especially the Junior team which Swan’s Emma O’ Halloran is a part of.
This week, our Junior ‘B’ ladies take on St. Patrick’s on Monday night (July 15th) in a tournament game. The game takes place in Cloneen at 7.45pm.
The finals of the Camogie tournament take place at Páirc na nEalaí on Friday evening with the fixtures to be finalised after Monday’s games. The Shield Final will take place at 7pm while the Cup Final will take place at 8pm. Best of luck to all teams involved.
Juvenile Scene
Our u17’s lost out to Mullinahone in Páirc na nEalaí last week in our championship opener. On Monday next, July 22nd, we take on St. Mary’s in Clonmel Sportsfield at 8pm. Other teams in this Championship include Killenaule, Ballingarry, and Cahir.
No game for our u15’s this week. We’re back in action next week vs Clonmel Og in Páirc na nEalaí, Carrick. More details on that fixture, next week.
Our u13 hurlers had a good win over St. Patrick’s on Saturday morning in Carrick. We take on Ballybacon-Grange on The Green on Saturday morning next with an 11am throw-in, in our next game.
Our u12 Camogie girls are awaiting their Shield Final fixture at the moment. It’ll hopefully take place shortly.
Our u9 boys took part in the half-time game during last Sunday’s South Senior Hurling Final, in Monroe. Looking at the skills on show from the Swan & Killenaule players during the game, it’s safe to say that the future of hurling is bright in both clubs.
Carrick Swan would like to once again thank Siobhan O’Dwyer for organising yet another massively successful camp for our young kids. Last week’s Kellogg’s GAA Cúl Camp was attended by over 60 kids, and each and every one of them loved the week of activities, even if the weather wasn’t the best. When the rain struck, the kids got to enjoy movie afternoon in the clubhouse.

The all new 2024 – 2025 Tipperary Clubs Draw has been launched and tickets can now be purchased from the club, the Tipperary GAA office or on the Tipperary GAA website. The new draw will have substantial cash prizes each month and is well worth the €100 entry.

The club lotto jackpot is a massive €12,750 this week as there was no winner of last week’s €12,500 jackpot. Last week, there were eight match 3 winners who won €30 each. The numbers drawn were 03 – 07 – 13 – 14. Well done all.
