Social Tennis: The Men’s Wednesday Night Tennis (doubles) runs for most of the year and is an enjoyable way of meeting fellow members and getting matches to play. While they run year-round there are three separate components: Team Tennis (January through February), Social Wednesday (March through May) and The Matt Russell Cup (September through December). Members are requested to sign on for these nights on the Saturday of each week from 10.00am and all grades are catered for in the two session played (7 30pm & 9pm) Cost €5 per session.
The Team Tennis event is slightly different as a team aspect is added. However, like the Wednesday nights all levels are catered for. Cost €25 per entry. Even if you do not have a regular partner we can assist in getting you one. All Social Tennis events always finish up with a final night with a prize giving evening. The contact number for all social tennis events is 087-2278509.
Competitions: We have 3 main Championships throughout the year which are open to players of all levels. Play consists of singles, doubles and mixed competitions.
