The Swans fly together
March 17, 2014
Carrick Swans have twinned with Swansea FC.
The alliance between the Carrick-on-Suir-based club and the South Welsh club arose mainly because both are known as 'the Swans'. Almost 100 members of the Carrick Swan club attend Swansea City's 2-1 Premier League defeat to West Brom on Saturday as part of fostering relations between the two outfits.
The South Tipperary club made a presentation of a specially inscribed hurley and sliotar to Swansea officials at the Liberty Stadium as part of the novel twinning exercise. The trip came about after the club wrote a letter to Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins early last year. Tweet
