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.

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.

Carrick travelled to Loch Lomond for the first league match of 2012.
This was Carrick’s first league match since the 26th November and with Loch Lomond being in 4th position in the league it was always going to be a difficult fixture. The conditions were perfect for good rugby even if the pitch was a bit on the heavy side.
