πŸ“’ Event Update

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Andrew Brace is unable to make his planned visit to CRFC this Thursday, 10th September.

We’re naturally disappointed that the session can’t go ahead as planned, but we hope to welcome Andrew to Tom Simms Memorial Park in the future.

We’ll provide an update regarding any rearranged date in due course.

Thank you for your understanding. πŸ‰

πŸ‰ WEEKEND RESULTS πŸ‰

A busy afternoon on the road for our senior sides, with the 1st XV heading to Roughfort to take on Academy, while the 3rd XV travelled to Donaldson Park to face Donaghadee 2nd XV.

πŸ”΄βš«οΈ 1st XV

Academy 33–39 Carrickfergus 1st XV

The 1st XV dominated large parts of the game and took control early on, building a healthy lead. Academy stayed in the contest through a number of penalty kicks following some Carrickfergus indiscipline at the breakdown.

A yellow card for Carrickfergus then saw the momentum swing, with Academy capitalising to come back and take a 33–32 lead.

But Carrick weren’t finished! With just one minute remaining, Dee Carse powered over the line to secure a dramatic victory for the 1st XV! πŸ‰

πŸ”΄βš«οΈ 3rd XV

Donaghadee 2nd XV 45–12 Carrickfergus 3rd XV

A tough afternoon for our youthful 3rd XV against a very strong Donaghadee side.

Despite the result, the team stayed spirited and fought right through the full 80 minutes. The experience will be hugely beneficial for this young squad as they continue to develop and move forward. πŸ‘
