U14 League win over Corrib
Carrick u-14s started their league campaign against the ever strong U14 Corrib team from Headford. Carrick players, coaches and supporters travelled to Headford on a lovely but somewhat cool Sunday morning. Both sides contributed to an entertaining and sporting game with Carrick winning on a scoreline of 36 – 7.
Carrick started strongly with the pack taking control of the set pieces from early on. This dominance provided the Carrick backs with the opportunity to spread the ball wide to scores excellent tries. Corrib pressed hard but found it difficult to break down the stern Carrick defence crossing the try line late in the game to score their only try.
Try scorers for Carrick were Brian King, Eoghan McLoughlin, Josh Young, James Honeyman, and Ashley Maziya. Conversions were scored by Adrian Shortt, and Eoghan McLoughlin.
