OPEN DOUBLES COMPETITION FINAL WEEK

OPEN DOUBLES COMPETITION FINAL WEEK

Well we’re finally on the home stretch!  After 11 playing days so far, 20 group matches, almost 150 players, two slightly (!) wet nights and without doubt great matches every night, we are down to our last week.

Last group stages take place tonight (Monday 22nd) and tomorrow (Tuesday 23rd) with the semi finals from Wednesday 24th to Friday 26th July followed by our BBQ and Finals Day on Saturday 27th.

We also have our Quarterfinals for the Mixed B Section kicking off this evening from 7.15pm at Nenagh Lawn Tennis Club who have kindly lent us the use of their courts for the evening to host our matches so many thanks to NLTC for their hospitality.

Our sincere thanks also to Noel Russell and Birr Wilmer TC who rearranged some of their own Open fixtures in order not to clash with some of our round robins for players who had entered both competitions.  Scheduling never an easy task so cheers Noel!

Quarter finals line up and draft Semis & Finals line up in attachment below.  Please note that these are still in draft format and may be subject to change once all the group stages are completed.

By the standard of games so far it’s going to be a very exciting week ahead so best of luck to all players!  Hard luck to those who haven’t made it so far but fair play for being so sporting (even on those damp evenings!).

Don’t forget all are welcome to come along and support any evening this week for the Quarters, Semis & of course Final’s day.  All players are still entered into our raffle prize draw on Saturday so if you come along you just might be lucky!

Thanks once again to our kind sponsors of this competition: Melissa K’s Shoe Boutique, D’Arcy Cleary Insurances and Pat Hough Racquet Stringing whose continued support is greatly appreciated.

Line up for the week ahead in below attachment….see you in Puckane!!
