Brief History
The history of Carrickmacross Rovers A.F.C. goes back more than 70 years, with records detailing a thrilling 3-3 draw with Norton Villa in the Dundalk and District League in the 1927/28 season. From 1948 to 1961 Carrick Rovers played in the Dundalk and District League, winning the Second Division there in 1961. Carrick Rovers was reformed in 1967 and has been going strong ever since. The club has owned its own ground on the Ballybay Road since 1973 and have also acquired a pitch on the Shercock Rd - training and games take place here with semi-final and final games played at the Ballybay Road pitch.

Today the tournament proves as popular as ever.
Results
Last updated 23rd February 2009
Carrick Rovers 4 Virginia 6
Rovers U12 good run came to an end on Saturday last when league leaders Virginia beat them in a thriller in Carrick. Virginia took an early lead but Diarmaid Boylan equalised from the spot. The Cavan boys went 3 to 1 up before half time but a terrific rally by the Rovers brought them two more goals from Boylan and Killian Lennon but Virginia showed a bit of class to score twice. The young Rovers came back and Boylan completed his hat trick but Virginia had the final say with a scrambled goal. Rovers can take heart from this display; no other team has scored 4 goals against the leaders; there were improved displayed from Andrew Butler, Patrick Larney and Jamie Berg while Ronan O’Callaghan showed great leadership and fight at all times.
