Special thanks to our president Barry for presenting our trophies and for the lovely flowers presented to recent Italian open winner Lydia.

I'd like to draw attention to a young player from.DUBLIN 2nd name Taylor ,He is very young but very good? Fingers crossed, he stays in health and gets good guidance, it may help that his family are tennis people?

Our junior tennis awards took place on Sunday night to put a cap on another great season of coaching and achievement for our junior section.

Thanks to Fetherstons we all get to wear our sponsored t-shirts, particular when competing in the B&D Juvenile Leagues. Their sponsorship is never taken for granted and we hugely appreciate the support.

The spirit among the junior section is buoyant, and the night was an opportunity to highlight those who truly excelled this past year, as well as say goodbye to some juniors who are moving on.

We also announced our new Junior Captain and Vice Captain for the 2025-2026 season and we are delighted to appoint two excellent young men:

Cormac as Vice Captain

Leo as Junior Captain.

Thanks to all the parents for their dedication to their kids’ tennis and for driving various teams all round the country.

We have a packed schedule of summer camps and tournaments and we hope all the players are inspired to play and compete even more.

Newcomer Female: Summer R

Newcomer Male: Levi S

Most Improved Female: Chloe R

Most Improved Male: Henry W

Personality of the Year Female: Sophia O

Personality of the Year Male: Edward H

Team of the Year: U18 Girls C4s & U14 Girls B1s

Performance of the Year: Grace G

Comeback of the Year: Ruby S

Volunteer of the Year: Evie H

Leavers: Maia, Lauren, Katie G, William, Jemma

Most Valuable Player Female: Isabella J

Most Valuable Player Male: Conor H

Congratulations to you all and a big thank you to those who work with the juniors. No junior club is possible without the hard work of the organisers. So, well done to everyone involved. 👏👏

It was a great awards night. We have a strong junior section and I am so proud of them all. They are a very important part of our club. They are our club’s future.
