We are delighted to be hosting a Tennis for Cancer event in the club on Sunday 21st May. The event is a “Handbags and Glad Rags” ladies doubles tournament followed by lunch. 

The format for the tennis competition is that there will be 8 teams of 6 players. Each team will consist of 1 pair of class 2/3 standard, 1 pair of class 4/5 standard and 1 pair of Class 6/7 standard, so we are hoping for wide participation. There will be two groups and initial stages will be timed round robin matches (20 minutes) followed by semi-finals and a final. Tennis will start at 10  am sharp with lunch at 1pm

We are also asking you to donate “pre loved” clothing and handbags in good condition which we will display and sell on the day - so you can browse the rails when you are off court or at lunch. Jewellery and scarves are also welcome. We will be collecting these donations on Saturday 20th so we can have them ready to display on the following morning

Entry fee is 30 euro for tennis plus lunch or 20 euro for lunch only. You can also pop up anytime if you just want to browse the rails!

All proceeds will go to Tennis for Cancer charity which was set up by long time Monkstown member Grace Owens

Sign up will be open next week on easy payments and we look forward to seeing lots of you on the day!!
