American Tournament

At our recent AGM it was agreed that the club organise an American tournament on the first Sunday of every month. Consequently our first one will be on January 3rd starting at 11am and continuing for two hours. An American tournament is played with half the games in a set played with your partner and half against your partner. We generally play sets of 8 games in our mixed doubles tournaments however in an American tournament the ladies would change partners after every 4 games.

Ladies Pyramid

Lisa Brennan, since her come back, has successfully challenged three lady competitors and now is at the pinnacle of the ladies pyramid.

Anne O’ Sullivan and Marie Bouchard were very competitive last Tuesday night while competing with the other ladies. In the mixed doubles on Thursday Olivia Sumner had a number of winners while manning the net while Jiulio Loner played powerful tennis from the baseline.
