The Show is now finished until next year.

The 136th South of Ireland Senior Open Tennis Tournament was running from Saturday June 15th to Saturday June 22nd.

Dear members,

After a fantastic week of Tennis, we wish to thank all the players that took part and contributed to the success of the 136th South of Ireland. The total entry of 320 players was the largest in five years and ensured a busy week for our tournament referee Amy Pratt and contributed to very competitive championship tennis in all events. We have received great feedback from players from other clubs who found our club very welcoming and that is a credit to the role you all played.

A special thank you to the Limerick Lawn players who numbered 130 and did us proud. Even though Greg LeMond didn’t quite make his debut, our players delivered the results to produce a thrilling final day.

It was great to see so many new people in our club, especially those who entered the beginners section.

We had a tremendous singles final between Killaloe’s Barry McCarthy and Limerick Lawn’s Kevin Rea. This final was a pleasure to watch and we wish to congratulate both competitors for their sporting manner in which they played.

Many thanks to all who contributed to the tournament, whether it was in the organising, the participating and the spectator’s too.

We would like to thank you all for your support in 2013 and look forward to welcoming you next year at Limerick Lawn. A special thank you to Ivan O’Riordain for his excellent photography throughout the week.
