CARRICK RFC MINI’S HOME BLITZ VERSUS CREGGS ( C. McAuley )
On Saturday last, 23rd of January 2016, the Carrick Mini Section had their first home Blitz of 2016. Cregg’s RFC were the visiting team and arrived promptly at 10 am for 10:30 am kick off. Under the coordination of Coach Cathal McAuley and with the assistance of Coach Trevor Graham and the parents of the Under 11 squad, the Blitz proceeded, as usual to everyone’s satisfaction. The morning was cool but remained dry and was near perfect for plenty of games of rugby. There was action on all the pitches and Carrick and Cregg’s got stuck into tackling, passing and scoring plenty of tries. The Cregg’s’ Coaches were impressed with the standard of play from the Carrick teams and likewise could be said for the typical high standard of Cregg’s. After a disjointed start to the season, with the cancellation of training over the Christmas, it was great to see the home pitch getting plenty of play from a field full of young players. When the games were all completed, the parents of the Under 11 squad provided catering for players, parents and coaches from both clubs, up the road at the IWCA Centre. There, both home and visiting parents, players and coaches were able to chat and discuss the highs of the earlier games. A big thank you must go to all the parents that chipped in and provided food, assistance and helped out with the car park on the day to make it a great success.
