Carrick Swan Notes Monday, August 18th.
Our Premier Intermediate hurlers are back in action next weekend. We take on Killenaule in Round 2 of the County Championship. The game takes place on Sunday at 5-30pm in Clonmel Sportsfield. Best of luck.
Last Friday, our Junior A footballers had a great win over Newcastle in the South Quarter Final. We now wait to hear who our opponents will be and when the Semi-Final fixture will take place.
Our Junior B hurlers take on Moyle Rovers in the South Quarter Final next Sunday at 12pm in Cloneen. Best of luck.
Our u19 hurlers lost narrowly to Ballingarry in the South Semi-Final last week. We dust ourselves off, put our gumshields in, and travel to Monroe on Wednesday night for the South u19 Football Final where we take on St. Patrick’s at 6.45pm. Best of luck, young men.
Our u17’s take on Knockmealdown Gaels on Friday night in Páirc na nEalaí. The game throws in at 7pm.
Our u15 hurlers had a good win over Mullinahone on Thursday last in Páirc na nEalaí to top our group. We now await our South Semi Final fixture, which is expected to take place in a couple of weeks’ time.
Our u13 D team lost narrowly to Clonmel Og in our playoff semi-final on Saturday morning, in what was a great game of hurling where both teams showed great skills and determination. Unlucky boys.
Our u10 Camogie girls had a fantastic evening of hurling in Windgap last week where they played some great games against the host club. They followed this up, on Saturday morning, in Goatenbridge, where they played in a cluster blitz. They played 4 games in total against Boherlahan and Ballybacon Grange. It was awesome to see them pushing through tough conditions in high heat while still playing with determination and great skill. Well done to all involved.Keep up the good work girls.
Our U8 Camogie team had a fantastic day playing against Clonea, recently, showing a great balance of skills with strong defending and sharp attacking play – making for some thrilling, close games! It’s brilliant to see the team growing in numbers and improving with every outing. Keep up the great work, girls!
Our u6 Cygnets took part in the fantastic Mooncoin Blitz on Saturday last. Some videos of the day can be seen on our socials. Check them out.
Carrick Swan GAA Club would like to extend a huge thank you to Michael Atkins of Kilmeaden Groundworks for his generous sponsorship of training jerseys to our U17 team. Your support helps our young players look the part as they put in the hard work on the training field, and it’s greatly appreciated by players, coaches, and the whole club. Thanks again, Michael!
