Mens 1sts
Hard luck to our mens 1sts who lost the class 1 Winter league semi final away to Glenageary on Sunday. All 3 matches were tight but it wasn't to be. The team on the day was Shane O'Dea, Brendan Mulligan, Conor McAvoy, Rob Turpin, Gavin McDonnell and Kevin McQuiad. We had a strong squad throughout thecampaign, Pat Nolan missed the semi through injury, Eoin Quinn played all the group games but has travelled to Spain to train for the next month and Conor McKeever also played in the group stages.
The next winter league for all classes isn't too faraway. It all kicks off end of January

Masters 2021 – Closing Stages
Thank you to all the players who have completed their matches on time in our Masters & Veterans 2021 tournament.
In fairness to members who are waiting for opponents, outstanding matches need to be played urgently to ensure that the semi-finals can be played and completed by Wednesday 17 November. This is vital to allow scheduling of the finals.
All-Ireland Championships for over 70yrs, 75yrs and 80yrs
Sutton LTC participated in the All Ireland Championships friendly competition this year. This is a league coordinated by volunteers from different tennis clubs and led by Mike Butler, Sandycove LTC. However, don’t be misled by the term friendly as all the matches are competitive and played on a home and away basis throughout the campaign.
This year we had teams in the 70+, 75+ and 80+ categories featuring Paddy Cooney (Capt), Martin O'Toole, John Tannam, Terry Donaghue, Brendan Sutton, John Garvey, Joe Walsh, Jim O'Flaherty, Sean O'Dwyer
70+ had 1 win with three players
75+ had 1 win with four players
80+ had 2 wins and a draw with two players.
Thank you to Paddy Cooney who captained the Sutton teams this year.
