Carrick RFC Club Notes – 16/03/2015
Clobber 4 CRFC
Spring cleaning? Spring has arrived and Carrick RFC is here to help! No, we can’t come to your house to tidy for you but this March, every Saturday and Sunday morning at our Youth section training (10:30am -12pm), our Coaches will be ecstatic to take any unwanted bags of;
· clothes,
· handbags and shoes (please tie shoes together)
· hats and belts,
· towels and curtains
· bed linen (sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers but NOT duvets)
Please, don’t keep this to yourself, as we’d be delighted if you would let your neighbours, friends and relations know. Your old clobber can help us improve the facilities for your child/our player, your club and your community. More info about what we can take is available at: www.carrickrugbyclub.ie.

Carrick Under 11s Blitz report
Last Saturday our Under 11s Minis travelled on a beautiful sunny morning to Buccaneers RFC in Athlone for their end of season IRFU Connacht Blitz. The squad of 14 played three games against; Loughrea, Galwegians and Sligo. The squad had a great morning of rugby and were delighted when they were presented with their medals at the end of the Blitz. As usual, the players were a credit to themselves and their club and were dully rewarded by Buccaneers with hotdogs and plenty to eat. Well done our Under 11s.
