Waysiders vs Carrick
It wasn't pretty but Carrick continued their good season with a hard fought win away at Waysiders Drumpellier on Saturday.
This was certainly not a match for the rugby purist, as both sides battled for superiority in conditions that resembled a quagmire. In the end, the 8-9 victory came courtesy of the kicking skills of young Conor Wyllie, who nudged over three penalties to edge out the hosts.

A Burns Night Pick Me Up
Any Burns aficionados who had been suffering last Saturday from an excess of usquabae, haggis, neeps and tatties and had decided to clear their heads by following Tam o Shanter’s trail from the Market Bar in auld Ayr’s toon centre to Souter Johnnie’s cottage might have had a few surprises en route.

Lessons not Learned
Saturday’s game was transferred to the milder climes of Maybole from the frozen east of Dunblane and at the interval Coach Brown must have been wondering whether that decision was one of his better ideas.

Carrick vs Stewartry
Saturday’s game against Stewartry was the start of the second half of the season. At Castle Douglas an inexperienced Carrick side had been taught a few lessons and effectively outmuscled by the stronger and more experienced home side losing by four tries to nil. Stewartry came to Maybole as one of the top three in the league with an outside chance of promotion. The sub plot to the visit was the close connection between player/coach Muir for the visitors and sometime player/coach Brown for the Rick.

Thanks Mitchell
After 18 months as Carrick RFC 1st XV Coach, Mitchell Waugh has regrettably had to step down from his position due to work and family commitments. Mitchell has worked tirelessly with the Players and Committee, and has significantly developed and managed the team during this period, ultimately attaining promotion in the 2011/12 season.
On behalf of the Players, Committee, Supporters and specifically myself, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Mitchell for his commitment and efforts to the Club - we hope that you will still stay involved, and see continued success from the work you have already started.
