CARRICK WHEELERS GET NEW SPONSOR FOR ST. PATRICK’S DAY RACE
By admin | March 6, 2010
Dan Morrissey Carrick Wheelers are delighted to announce that they have secured a new sponsor for their annual St. Patrick’s Day race, with Thompson Funeral Home of Waterford coming on board to back the famous race, now known as the Carrick Wheelers Cup.
This will be the fifty fourth staging of a cycle race in Carrick on Suir on St. Patrick’s Day by Carrick Wheelers, with the series of races going back to 1955. As a point of interest, you may have figured out that two years are missing from the series, and this is because the race was postponed on two occasions, once when there was a few inches of snow on the course and another over the famous “foot and mouth” outbreak. However the race was held on a different date on each of those years, so this will be the fifty six staging of the race, which must be national record.

Sam In Accident
By admin | December 21, 2009
Sam Bennett was involved in the first major accident of his career when he was in collision with a car on Friday outside of Windgap, Co. Kilkenny.
Sam was removed by ambulance to St. Luke’s Hospital in Kilkenny where he was diagnosed with a fractured collarbone, leg muscle and head injuries. He showed an improvement yesterday (Sunday), and could put some weight on his injured leg. It is expected that he will be released from hospital today or tomorrow.
Sam was due to attend a track training camp in Aigle, Switzerland in early January and then fly to China for the Beijing Track World Cup. Unfortunately, as happened last year when he got a chest infection, he will remain at home in recovery. Everybody in the club wishes Sam a speedy recovery.
On a cheerier note, we are all delighted to hear that our club PRO Bobby Power will be released from hospital in time for Christmas.
