Carrick Swan Notes Monday December 2nd
12 Days of Christmas Draw
The 2024 Carrick Swan 12 Days of Christmas opening Draw begins on Tuesday evening at 7pm. Over the 12 days, weekday draws will take place at 7pm each evening. Weekend draws will take place at 12noon.
Carrick Swan club would like to thank everybody who has supported the draw again this year. It is very much appreciated and allows us to improve our facilities year-on-year. Thank you!
A.G.M
The Annual General Meeting of Carrick Swan Club will take place on Friday January 10th, 2025.
If you think you might have a few hours per month to help with the administration side of the club, now is the time to put your hand up. Reach out to any current committee member or reach out to us on Facebook for more information.
Volunteering with Carrick Swan is a rewarding way to connect, grow skills, and support our club. Volunteering with a hurling, football, and camogie club doesn’t mean you need to coach a team. There are dozens of ways you can help, off the field.
New volunteers are always welcome and are essential to running the club, helping to organise events, and we’re committed to ensuring they feel valued, supported, and well-informed.
Think about it over the next few weeks.
On-Field Activities Come to a Close
On-field activities for Carrick Swan Club ended last week, marking the end of another great playing year for the club.
We’d like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all our players and coaches for their hard work, dedication, and commitment throughout 2024.
From our U6 Cygnets Academy in hurling, camogie, and football, right up to our South Senior Hurling Champions, each of you has played a vital role in the success of our club this year.
Thank you.
We can’t wait to see everyone back in action in 2025—and for many more years to come. Here’s to continued growth, teamwork, camaraderie, and hopefully success!
Juvenile Scene
On-field activities might be over, but the girls and boys of Carrick Swan are currently in the middle of their winter outings.
Last weekend, our U10 girls had a fantastic time at Hotshots Bowling in Clonmel, while our U8 girls enjoyed a wonderful day at World of Bounce.
Next weekend, our U7 Cygnets will visit the Carrick-on-Suir Fire Station for their Christmas evening out on Friday.
Also, our U9 boys are gearing up for a PlayStation battle as we hold an FC25 tournament, for them, followed by some refreshments.
Carrick Swan club like to congratulate Charlie Torpey Walsh who played midfield last week on the South Tipperary u13 Dom Browne Cup winning team. South Tipp beat Mid Tipp in the final. Well done, Charlie. Super stuff.
Club Lotto
There was no winner of last week’s Carrick Swan Lotto. Nine people matched 3 and won €30 each. The numbers drawn last week were 03 – 15 – 21 – 27.
This week, our Lotto jackpot is €3,500. The draw takes place on Thursday night, each week, and it costs just €2 to enter.
Condolences
The club was recently informed that former player Shamie Flynn passed to his eternal reward some time ago in England.
Shamie was a very fine player with the club winning minor honours in 1956 as a forward and then in 1957 he played in the half back line on the Swan senior team.
He won back-to-back senior south medals in 1958 and 1959 when he played in goal at that time and continued to give great service to the club winning a much-coveted junior south title in 1965 when he played as a half forward.
Shamie had all the skills as evidenced by his filling many positions on the Swan teams when needed and after emigrating in the late 60s he kept a keen interest in the club up to his passing.
All in the club extend our sincere sympathy to Shamie’s family both here and abroad, Shamie will be remembered at a mass to be held in St Nicholas Church on December 7th at 7.30pm. Ar dheis Dé go raibh sé.
Carrick Swan club would also like to pass on our condolences to the Duggan family of Marian Avenue, and the Flynn family of Ard Mhuire on their recent bereavements.
