Congratulations to Siobhan and David - Irish Open title holders

The Irish Junior Open finished yesterday at Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club and Cork were represented in 4 finals as mentioned in a previous post and out of the 4 finals we had 2 winners.

Siobhan Ryan Bovey teamed up with Sinead Lohan to win the under 16 girls doubles.  Siobhan had a very good week as she also reached the finals of the under 16 girls singles where she met an inspired opponent in Jane Fennelly.
This tops off a great year for Siobhan where she won various tournaments and also played Interprovincials at under 18.
Well done Siobhan, we'll watch this space for next year.

David Gardiner was partnered by Eoin McGovern to win the boys under 14 doubles in a very high standard event.
David had a very good week overall where he also got to the semi finals of the boys under 14 singles and was partnered by Rachel Daly to reach the semi finals of the under 14 mixed.
David too has had a great year, in which he won a lot of titles in his own age group and age groups above his.

The fourth finalist was Rachel Daly and after some great matches during the week this was just one too many but still a fabulous achievement to be in the Irish Open final.

Well done to all, 3 definites to watch for the future.
