UPDATE FROM STEPHEN
The closing in of summer & Back to School is certainly flagged with the start of the Club Championships - both Senior & Junior - next week.
Looking at the draws for the Senior Championships there's a great entry - with lots of competitive matches in the offing! 1st round matches are scheduled from tomorrow through the weekend, so if you're not involved pop down & support the players.
Best of luck to Declan & Jacqui for your special 2 weeks!
Likewise with the Junior Tournament - there's a good entry in all age groups.
Again do pop down & see what our future tennis champs have to show!
Good Luck to Karen & her team - it should be a super week.
The Junior tournament circuit is coming to a close also with The Junior Lawn Tennis Championships of Ireland taking place in Fitzwilliam next week - with the qualies starting tomorrow - which is a tournament in itself. Not easy to get into the main draw.
Very best of luck to our Juniors who hope to make the Main Draw.
Congrats to Rosie Kennedy who last week won the U/14 singles title at the Malahide Tour 1000 event. Great win Rosie!
This week the Donnybrook Tour 1000 - 200 Tour event is being held.
Well done to our many juniors who played.
Rosie, Robyn Kennedy & Zoe Craig have reached the 1/4 finals of the U/16 singles which they play today - and Richie has also reached the 1/4 finals - in the U/14 event.
Best of luck to you all!
Here's to a special 2 weeks of competitive tennis - coupled with a lot of socialising!
Cheers Stephen
