Great Tennis Club BBQ and open day

Kilcullen Tennis Club have had a busy June ending with a sunny summer's day for the open day and BBQ on June 22nd, writes Niamh Crosbie. The children were entertained by games and face painting while the finals of the Ladies and Mens summer singles took place on court.

Once again, there was a trophy competition and a plate competition for each event, with everyone participating in the trophy competitions and the defeated players being entered into the plate. The day of finals was another great success with plenty of excellent tennis being played and plenty of spectators on hand to support the players. A special guest at the BBQ was the legendary Pat Lynch, one of the founding members of Kilcullen Tennis Club.

This was followed up by the presentation of prizes, which included the prizes for the Kilcullen 700 Mixed Doubles played earlier in the year. Joining us this year to present the prizes was Derek Phelan from the Kilcullen 700 committee who presented the club with a Kilcullen 700 trophy to mark the occasion. The Kilcullen 700 Mixed Doubles tournament winners were the dream team of Helen Dolan and Eoin Smith, with Eamonn O' Toole and Lucia Brennan as runners up.

A huge well done to everyone who took part in this year’s championships and to all of our finalists for, once again, making this event the highlight of our year.
