A fantastic week jam packed with excitement and nerves, a week full of ambitious drive and super atmosphere …
Once again Tralee Tennis Club was host to another very successful Club Championships.
Well done to all who signed up and participated. We had spectacular battles on offer throughout the championships.
Massive appreciation goes out to our Ladies’ Captain Ayshe & Men’s Captain Anthony, who worked tirelessly organising the competition. It was a super effort from our Club Committee and members for helping with the day to day running of matches and assisting with the tournament software.
The event was rounded off in style with a beautiful prize giving celebration in Benners Hotel.
