Birr Wilmer Tennis Club’s annual senior open tournament which concluded weekend before last attracted a record entry and was by all accounts a very successful and enjoyable tournament. Among those in the winners’ enclosure were Nenagh’s Anne Fitzpatrick and Brid Coffey, winners at ladies doubles, over Melissa Kenny and Csilla Varga.
Puckane’s Margaret Kelly and Eleanor Percy were r-up in another event, as were Joe Murphy and Wilmer (but former Kilruane) lady Paula Quinlan in a mixed event. All Wilmer finals results are on Birr Wilmer Facebook pages.
Puckane Tennis Club had a very busy few weeks with their Summer Open Doubles tournament in progress. There was a big entry and the finals day (and BBQ) was on last Saturday 29th July and was by all accounts a great success.
The Munster inter-club summer competitions and Midland Tennis League are now in full swing. Nenagh have quite a few teams in action on both fronts. Munster summer events are mainly knock-out, but Nenagh teams are apparently doing well. We’ll have up-to-date reports this week.
Congratulations to Nathan Slattery who won the Under 14 Boys Singles Cat 1 event in Sutton LTC on Sunday week last. Nathan was also a finalist in U.14 singles at Galway LTC Junior Open. Great stuff Nathan!
