Lower Aghada Tennis Club
Centenary Open Day: 28th
May
ALL ARE WEL- COME! Lower Aghada Ten- nis and Sailing Club was founded in 1917 making this year the 100 Year An- niversary! We would like to wel-
come the community to help celebrate this occa- sion on 28th
May from
2pm to 5pm. There will be lots of
activities for all ages with plenty of opportunities to try out a bit of tennis. The kids will be kept enter- tained by the coaches (and perhaps some surprise guest players) on court and by our entertainers in the club house with face- painting, balloons and nail painting. Adults are invit- ed to try out some tennis or perhaps some cardio tennis for those who are feeling very energetic! We will have our top players on court showing us what we can aspire to. You will get to see our
beautifully renovated club house and meet club members and coaches. Strawberries and
cream, teas and coffees are all provided to whet your appetite and weather permitting, the BBQ will be lighting. Last year everybody had
so much fun and this year promises to be even better! Come and join us for
an afternoon of fun for all ages.

have Club President Billy Flynn and President
of
Tennis Ireland Cliff Car- roll at the club today for prize giving. Tournament

members Vin Barry and Ger Sheehan put in many hours at the club this week and their hard work paid off. The tournament was a resounding success. Thanks also to Andrew Jaworska who was tourna- ment referee with Ger. Thanks to everybody
who helped in the kitchen. The future of the club is secure judging by the hard work some of the kids were willing to put in. Congratulations to all
of our own players who played this week. We were delighted to see so many taking part and particular- ly to see so many still play- ing today in the semis and the finals. Gavin Kirrane,
