Snippets 13/02/30

Well Storm Ciara certainly left its mark in the tennis club......disrupting league matches left right and centre!  However all cancelled matches have been re-scheduled and should be completed by the weekend.  Thanks to those members who had to forfeit their game to facilitate the re-scheduling.

A reminder for Men’s Morning...there is one match @ 9.30am & two @ 11am this Sunday the 16th. In the afternoon the Ladies have two matches both at 2 pm & 3.30 pm.

There are NO Easter Cup Home matches this Saturday morning the 15th.

Club Night: There will be NO CLUB NIGHT TONIGHT due to a rearranged league match being played. Apologies for any disappointment this may cause!

The Ladies Morning Committee - Fiona - Isabella - Anthea - Noreen - Niamh - Linda  & Collette organised a super Valentine's Tournament yesterday...with close on 40 ladies playing. They transformed the clubhouse into a Club of Love!!..not to mention the goodies (that participants brought) and Prosecco (non alchoholic!)  The tennis and atmosphere was one of fun....and competitiveness!  An added bonus was the presence of "Michael" from Grandstand - who sponsored the winners’ vouchers - and had an array of gorgeous tennis gear at very reduced prices. Many thanks Michael and thanks so much for your continued support to the tennis club.

If you weren't able to make the club on Wednesday pop into Grandstand on Patrick St where his great value continues for the month of February!  Again thanks so much Ladies for hosting such a super event.

The Spring Charity League got underway this Mon/Tues with good results.  Due to the mid-term break there are no Charity league matches next Mon/Tues - and NO Ladies Morning next Wednesday. Enjoy the break Ladies!
