U12 trip to Wales Carrick U12s are heading for Wales on Friday in the first ever foreign tour by Carrick on Shannon RFC. An amazing group of 53 players, coaching staff and parents are travelling as part of the touring party. Warm up games have been arranged against Buccaneers in Athlone and Saturday in Wales against Thurles RFC before competing in the North Wales Rugby Festival 2024 on Sunday against teams from Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England. The team were delighted to have some of our U18.5 stars at training last Saturday to give the lads some encouragement and advice and to present them with their touring kit. Fantastic role models for our minis to look up to. The U12 team are very grateful to all their tour kit sponsors, Ashgrove Marquees, Kieran’s Gala, Pat Scott, U Superstar Sports Team Wear, Declan Keville Accounting and others. Best of luck to the U12 management and players as they undertake this historic tour from all at Carrick RFC. Fun, friendship and lifelong memories await.
