Two
Titles for Nenagh LTC
These are
heady times for Nenagh tennis teams in Munster inter-club
tennis. Following last summer’s unprecedented success in
Munster summer competitions, Nenagh has opened the new
season impressively by winning 2 prestigious Munster Winter
League titles at the League Finals Day at Sunday’s Well LTC
on Sunday last.
Congratulations to Tim O’Brien (Capt), Liam O’Kelly,
Catherine Gibson and Valerie Cotter who combined to win the
Division IV title at the expense of an accomplished
Carrigaline team. Pat Cleary and Loreto Moloney also
featured on this team during the campaign.
Congratulation also to Liam Dwan (Capt), Conor O’Meara,
Margaret Harty and Liadhan Hassett on their win in the
Division V over a fine team representing Bandon LTC.
There was
a runner-up award for the club also. Nenagh’s Division III
team had to give best to an excellent Crosshaven side in
their final. We extend congratulations to Crosshaven.
Nenagh’s
Division III team was David Goulding, Tom Gallahue, Helena
Darcy and Mary Slattery. All these players have been on the
victory podium before and undoubtedly will be there again.
Nenagh of
course have reached 4 Winter League finals this spring. The
Division II final between Nenagh and St Anne’s Waterford had
to be postponed due to Nenagh’s Gail O’Meara being selected
for the Irish International Veterans Team which travelled to
Mexico last weekend. The final is expected to take place on
the weekend of Sunday 18th April, although not
confirmed as yet.
Congratulations also to Monaleen Tennis Club in Limerick
which won it’s first Munster Inter Club title on Sunday
winning the Division VI title.
Finally,
there was a great crowd of Nenagh members in Cork on Sunday
supporting the teams and the various teams wish to express
their sincere thanks to all for travelling. It was a long
day, especially when it extends into the night as we believe
it did. At least it was back in Nenagh.
