As you are all aware we have launched the new Club App and booking system. If you are yet to receive your username for Smart Cloud please contact Andrea, Office Manager who will help with this. We really do appreciate your patience on this, once settled in it will be a fluid system over all.
Padel Update
Padel works continue as planned and on schedule. Again, please be vigilant of work trucks etc coming in and out of the car. Always give way in the driveway, reversing back into the carpark for oncoming traffic. It is illegal to reserve back onto the Howth Rd.
Volunteers Needed
We urgently need some new Volunteers to help with the Bar on Friday evenings – if you can spare as little as 2 hours per month, please contact us on info@suttonltc.com and we can arrange training for you.

Winter League Play offs
Good luck to our teams in Winter League play offs this weekend. Our men’s 1sts take on Malahide in an all northside Class 1 semi-final. The match is on in Malahide at 11am this Sunday. Would be great to have a strong Sutton support there to cheer them on.
The ladies’ 3rds have already secured promotion back to Class 3 with a win over Trinity last Sunday. They travel to Clane for the quarter finals at 2pm this Sunday.
Hard luck to the Ladies 7ths who lost to Elm Park in their playoff game last week. It was the first league campaign for nearly the whole team and Karen Walsh did a great job as captain leading them to the play offs.
