Goal Mile
Carrick AC would like to thank all who came to Ormond Castle on Christmas morning for the seventh annual 'Goal Mile' to be held in Carrick-on-Suir. The event was once again a great success and a total of €3,700 was raised for this most worthy cause. Thanks to all who contributed so generously and especially to Mags Power and her many helpers who collected in the town on the Saturday before Christmas.
