Dear Club Member
We have a lot of disruption at the moment to the tennis courts, between the storm damage and the new fencing being installed. We also have the Junior South of Ireland this weekend Fri evening to Monday lunchtime with 350 competitors. Thank you for your patience and hopefully normal business will resume soon.
