A Welcome Return .....

With our sincere thanks and gratitude to all at Sunday’s Well Boating & Tennis Club for their generous support in allowing us to facilitate a fabulous two days in Cork, Munster Tennis are delighted to be hosting the National Interprovincial Championships for 2022.

Being the first time in two years that these Championships have taken place, we look forward to extending a very warm welcome to our friends and colleagues from Leinster, Ulster and Connacht to the fabulous grounds and surrounds on the Banks of the Lee for what is appreciated as the premier team event in Irish tennis.

Full bar & hospitality services will be on offer throughout the weekend, with the ever fabulous Brook Catering providing superb meals in the clubhouse as well as a Championship Dinner on the Saturday evening as we all get to raise a toast for what promises to be a superb occasion.

May I congratulate you on your selection to represent your Province and express my further thanks to my Branch colleagues, staff and volunteers for ensuring we can all enjoy a fantastic event on and off court.
