Jamie Blake of Bishopstown Tennis Club continued his dominance of Mens tennis in Munster with a hat-trick of titles at The South of Ireland Omni Court Championships held at Rushbrooke tennis club this Easter weekend.
His day started with the Mens Singles Final against Kevin Rea, Limerick Lawn where he proved too strong for Kevin and came out on top with a scoreline of 6-1. 6-1.
This was followed with a very tough and entertaining Mens Doubles, where Jamie partnered his brother, Cian, in a match against Daragh Glavin, Naas, and Tom McGrath, Glenegeary.
This match went all the way to a third set and at 4-1 down in the third you might have thought it was all over, but the Blakes knuckled down and fought back in very tough, blustery conditions to turn things around and win 6-4 in the third.
With little or no break Jamie and Daragh returned to the court for the mixed doubles final where Jamie teamed up with Lynsey McCullough (who had a hat trick of her own) and Daragh teamed up with Cork's Niamh Coveney for an entertaining mixed doubles with Jamie and Lynsey coming thru 6-3, 6-2.
These were just some of the matches played in a full programme starting on Thursday.
