What a night last night in Teenager Club🙌 We kicked things off by spinning the wheel for our World Cup teams🌍 The winner will receive a prize for when it’s all over!

We then had a hot seat competition for a chocolate bar! After a lot of back and fourth, our wee Quinn took the dub🏆🏆

We finished the night off watching the World Cup opener as well as designing our own flags and other arty things!🎨

What’s better than some ice cream in the sunshine? Not much!🍦☀️
We had the joy of taking the Teenager Club for some Mauds and a walk along fisherman’s key🎣
We have to make the most of this weather while we have it! The guys really enjoyed themselves and was a great change of scenery🥳

A lot has happened in Teenager Club this past week! Firstly, last Thursday was our first night back from Easter, so what better way to start with toast and waffles😋🧇 During this time we also had a scavenger hunt for cones, each cone was worth points to win an Easter egg!🙌 Ruby, Quinn and Hollie shared their cones to win🤩

On Saturday we took on some colder weather at Let’s Go Hydro! Despite being frozen at the start the sun eventually came out☀️ It ended up being an amazing day with a lot of laughs and hopefully memories made🙌

The Big Community Match wouldn’t have been possible without the community coming together and helping to make it happen!🙌

We would love to thank Anne from Carrick Tescos; Roy and Angela from Vivo Oakland Park, Carrickfergus; Jill and Tash from Centra Carrickfergus; and Stephen from Eurospar Victoria Road for providing fruit and Water for the day!💧🍎 Without your generous donations we could not have kept the young people hydrated and fed!🥳

We would also love to thank Lesley and Alison from Simply Pizza for donating the Player of the Match voucher!
Also Rebecca from Dominoes Marketing and the Carrick team for providing some vouchers for prizes!🍕

Thank you to Andy, Angela and Lee from 442 Teamwear for the custom YMCA bibs, this made the day easier to create teams!🟨
Thank you to John from the IFA for donating cones and balls to be used on the day! These practical things made the day run smoothly⚽️

Lastly we’d love to thank Cheryl Brownlee MLA , Cllr Marc Collins and the chairman of Carrick Rangers FC Academy for providing the pitch and allowing us to use it for the amount of time we needed🥳🙌

We are incredibly grateful to have such a supportive community who want to help benefit the local young people in our area! Again, thank you to all who played their part🏆

What an amazing day we had on Friday! The Big Community Match was back with a bang💥 We had so many young people down to either play or to cheer on the teams!📣

The young people really brought the heat and made the staff team dig in and work hard but, despite the effort, the young people came out on top⚽️ Thank you to all you young people who came down and took part, we hope you had a great day!🙌

After the match we had a few competitions for pizza vouchers!🍕 Next year the staff will have a few more training sessions so we’re extra ready😂
