Munster Champions

A Winter League final like no other…in July!

After months of trying to stay active in their living rooms and gardens and a mere two weeks training on court, two Tralee teams G4 Mixed and G6 Ladies battled in the summer sun to finish what they had started in October of last year, both teams winning with a fantastic result of 3-1.

Congratulations to the G6 Ladies team Hannah(capt), Niamh, Cathryn & Christine and massive thanks to the super subs who togged out over the winter season: Roberta, Amanda & Claire Salmon

The G4 mixed team Nuala(capt), Ciara, John & Stephen fought late into the evening to bring home the cup. Big thanks to Caoimhe for subbing along the way.

Operation Rejuvenation

by

Tralee Tennis Club has seen a fantastic rejuvenation in recent months.  Our Clubhouse turned green in more ways than one.  We were delighted to receive a sports capital grant from the Minister of Tourism and Sports to help with the upgrade of our club.

Sports Capital pic

From this achievement, we were able to install new LED lights, which overtime will significantly save cost and most importantly energy.

Our courts were rejuvenated with the packing of fresh sand and leveling.

As a club we strive to maintain a high standard to ensure the best quality for our members.

 

Munster Winter League

by

After fighting an extreme battle during this year’s winter league campaign, enduring beastly weather conditions, many road trips, hours of playing and practicing, it was fantastic to see how well all of our teams (players and subs) represented along the way.  Massive thank you to all!

Semi Finalists

We narrowly missed out on making the Munster Winter League finals; our fantastic grade 4 team fought a hard fight, but came up against very tough opponents during the semis, whilst injury took our mighty grade 6 team out of the league, an extremely unfortunate way to go out.  What a great effort and huge achievement, well done.

On behalf of TTC we are extremely proud of all the teams who took part, we know it’s not easy to commit.  We wish all teams much success during the Summer Cup.
