Carrick Swan Notes Monday July 22nd
Adult Hurling, Football, & Camogie
The Carrick Swan Premier Intermediate hurlers play Round 1 of the Seamus O’Riain Cup on Friday in Littleton where we take on Upperchurch-Drombane. Throw-in 7.30pm. Best of luck, lads.
Well done to our Junior ‘A’ hurlers who defeated Father Sheehy’s on Sunday evening. We now await our South Quarter-Final Fixture.
Our u19’s lost out narrowly to Ballingarry, in their Championship opener on Friday last, losing by 1-point. We dust ourselves off and take on Killenaule in Ned Hall Park on Wednesday night. That game throws in at 7.30pm.
A superb night of camogie took place in Páirc na nEalaí, on Friday last, for our Annual Camogie Tournament Finals night. Well done to Butlerstown who defeated Swan to win the Cup final, while Ballingarry defeated St. Patrick’s to win the shield.
Carrick Swan would like to thank William Barrett Building Contractor and Plastering Ltd. for their generosity once again. William sponsored the medals for our, now annual, Camogie tournament, which was a huge success again in 2024. William also kindly sponsored food afterwards in O’Ceallachain’s Bar, Carrick, where a great night was had by all. As always, Stretch, your generosity is really appreciated by all in Carrick Swan.
Juvenile Scene
On Monday evening, our u17’s take on St. Mary’s in Clonmel Sportsfield. The game throws in at 7.45pm.
On Thursday evening, our u15’s are back in action, vs Clonmel Og, in Páirc na nEalaí. Throw-in is 6.30pm.
Our u13 hurlers played out an enthralling draw vs Ballybacon-Grange on The Green on Saturday morning. The draw means that we finish 3rd in our Group.
Our u12 Camogie girls lost out to Ballybacon Grange in their County Shield Final last Wednesday evening. Unlucky, girls.
Our u9’s held a Go Games blitz on Saturday morning in Páirc na nEalaí. We played teams from Kilsheelan, Clonmel Og, & Ardfinnan. It was an excellent morning’s football, and all the kids had a great time showcasing the skills of football that they’ve learned over the past few months.
Other News
We’d like to remind Swan supporters that the official opening on our brand-new hurling wall will take place on Friday August 2nd. Mark it in your diary! More details, next week.
Well done to Emma O’Halloran and the Tipp Junior Camogie ladies who qualified for the All-Ireland final defeating Armagh by a single point on Saturday afternoon. The final takes place in Croke Park in on Sunday August 11th.
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. This draw provides substantial financial assistance to the clubs of the county, with up to 70% of every ticket going straight into the clubs’ account.

Club Lotto
The club lotto jackpot is a massive €13,000 this week as there was no winner of last week’s €12,750 jackpot. Last week, there were eight match 6 winners who won €40 each. The numbers drawn were 06 – 14 – 23 – 28. Well done all.
