The importance of getting more parent volunteers to come on board cannot be overstated because at present the junior development team are struggling with resources thin on the ground. In order to move forward with our junior programme we would ask parents to speak with us ASAP about either joining the committee as a junior development officer alongside Caroline or/and supervise the juniors during the 11 and 12 o’clock groups. Training and assistance will be provided to volunteers.

The times for Junior Development on Saturdays throughout the season are 11am-12pm for secondary schools plus fifth and sixth class primary and 12-1pm for 6 years and over. We are indebted to Caroline Connelly for the fabulous work done here. And much appreciation and gratitude to coach Michael Russell as well as everyone who lend support.

The first tennis tournament of the year takes place on Thursday 15th May with all proceeds from the €10 entry going to the Emer Casey Foundation for research into Uterine/ Ovarian Cancer. A massive shout-out and thank you to our main sponsor Youghal Credit Union who keep this event running year after year!!!
