Snippets 12/03/20
And then there was one!....The Mens 1st team had a fantastic win over Leopardstown 1st last Sunday in the 1/4 final of the Winter League...to say it was nail-biting is an understatement! . Very well played Conor & Mickeymac - Stephen & Robin - Johnny & Kevin. Here's to the Semis on Sunday next v Templeogue 1st VENUE; Monkstown - TIME 11am.
Come down and support the lads in what should be a very high quality match.
Despite putting up a huge performance, the 3 Ladies teams were unlucky to go down in their respective matches. Well played to Anna (even though injured she supported her team to the end) - Karen - Rachael....no mean achievement to reach the quarters!
The Easter Cup teams play their last match this Saturday...best of luck to Joe - Gus and your teams. 3 courts are booked @ 11am for Gus and his team.
Just got word that this Friday’s Blue & Gold matches have been cancelled.
As already mentioned, 3 courts are required for the Men’s Semi Final match @ 11am on Sunday. Definitely last league match on a Sunday Morning for quite a while guys!
CLUB NIGHT: Club Night tonight will be hosted by Robert Sheehan...thanks so much Rob. Let's hope the wind dies down a bit and we can get out and get a bit of fresh air.

I read an article by our own Julie Byrne with immense pride the other day. Tennis Ireland selected a couple of players to write an article in conjunction with "International Womens' Day". Helen Lane has put the article on the MLTC website under "News"...I really would suggest you read it...it'll bring a tear to your eye. Well done Julie.
As I finish this Snippets I'm listening to the latest news re the Coronavirus...a lot of big decisions being made...as long as is possible do pop down and relax in our lovely surroundings - while at the same time being very aware of the simple basics of continuous hand washing and looking out for each other.
