EXCITING   "NEWSFLASH"   FROM   STEPHEN

 

This Saturday marks the end of the current Junior Coaching term.

 

We will celebrate it in style with the help of Conor Gannon and Conor Niland, who have kindly offered to give a coaching masterclass for our junior players.

 

All are welcome to drop by between 1pm and 2.30pm on Saturday.

 

We ask  that you bring a children's toy to donate and we can make a presentation to the local St Vincent de Paul for them to distribute to children in most need.

 

We are hugely grateful to both Conors for their time and their encouragement of our junior members.

 

It just leaves me to thank you for your support throughout the past year, and to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and good health for 2025.

 

All the best             Stephen

 

LADIES DOUBLES BOX COMPETITION  

Deadline is fast approaching . ALL 4 matches must be played by Wednesday 18th December for winners to be announced on Friday 20th December.

For those who are challenged in arranging their matches, can all concerned please make an effort to get these played within the deadline otherwise you risk the possibility of losing all points which would be very disappointing for both the competition and your opponents in your box who have played their matches.

Everyone has had 7 weeks to play 4 matches which take an hour and as part of the conditions for entering we did ask everyone to make themselves available and commit to play within the deadline.

On a positive note the competition is going well ,great competitive matches and I understand almost all matches are played or scheduled to be played by the 18th

It is not possible to split scores if matches are not played ,it is not possible to replace with a sub for anyone who unfortunately has been injured or sick nor is the deadline being extended…   ALL 4 matches must be played to be eligible for points.
