Tennis Club youngsters get intensive training

Saturdays are very busy just now at Kilcullen Tennis Club, with up to 40 youngsters getting coaching in the game, writes Brian Byrne.

The coaching programme is of six weeks' duration, with training for ten and under and 11 and over. The current programmes, with 20 in each, are fully booked.

Our pictures show the 11+ young people being put through their paces by club secretary Greg Norris, and Michael Maciejwski.

Eamonn O'Toole, who has organised the revitalisation of the Club after many years of it being closed, says they now have around 100 members and he expects that to grow significantly next year.

The Club currently has two hard courts.
