SUPER SENIORS INTERPROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS Rushbrooke Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club Friday 18th - Saturday 19th May 2018
The Munster Tennis Souvenir Programme - €3.00
Wishing You A Very Warm Welcome Clifford Carroll, President of Tennis Ireland On behalf of Tennis Ireland, I would like to welcome the Provinces of Ulster, Connacht, Leinster and Munster to The 2018 Super Seniors Interprovinical Championships. It is an opportunity for old friends to meet in a competitive environment, and also to make new friends. I look forward to supporting a great weekend and would take this opportunity to thank Rushbrooke Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club for their support for this weekend and also for their ongoing support with Tennis Ireland programmes. It is a very exciting time at the moment in Tennis Ireland with the new Tennis Strategy imminent, and we look forward to an thrilling next couple of years supporting initiatives that will improve tennis for all in Ireland.
Martin Leahy, President of Munster Branch - Tennis Ireland On behalf of the Munster branch of Tennis Ireland, I would like to extend a warm welcome to Leinster, Ulster, and Connacht to the Super Senior Interprovincial Championships to be held in Rushbrooke Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club. This annual tournament is a great social event where we meet old and new adversaries when we are on court and the opportunity to renew old and forge some new friendships off court. As you are all aware, our championship dinner will be held In the Fota Island Resort, who are Munster Tennis’ new partners, providing us with new office premises and a chance to create a Munster Tennis Hub on campus. I would also like to express our thanks and appreciation to Colette Miskella, President, Eddie Ronayne, Chairman and their tennis committee for facilitating this tournament. Rushbrooke is one of the oldest tennis clubs in Munster and is situated in the town of Cobh which is steeped in maritime history. So, if you get a chance, it is well worth spending a bit of time in town this weekend. To all, have an enjoyable and sporting weekend. www.MunsterTennis.ie
