Tennis
Sutton LTC Senior Club Championships 2024
Our Senior Club Championships came to an end last Saturday. We got great weather for the finals and there was some brilliant tennis on display.
Well done to our championship winners Tanya Murtagh and William Kell. Tanya won the ladies singles beating Jennifer O’ Connor in the final. Jennifer is just 15 years old so we are sure there will be many more finals ahead for her.
William Kell beat Gavin McDonnell in the Men's singles final. William now joins a select bunch of players that have won 3 titles in a row.
Well done to all 120 players who competed over the last 3 weeks. Big thank you to our sponsor O’ Hare and O’ Dwyer solicitors for their continued support.
Thanks as well to Orna, Rob and the captains Susan, Conor, Joanna and Dave for organizing the event. Thanks as well to Colm O’ Hare and Conor Hegarty for cooking the steaks on Saturday night along with Claire Brennan for providing the catering. Thanks also to the Bar Committee for organising the Cocktail night on Friday 27th and staffing the bar for the At Home Event.
Check out all the winners here
