MESSAGE FROM CONOR GANNON
Happy New Year to you all and I hope you’re getting back out on to the courts now that Christmas is done and dusted.
I just wanted to thank the Monkstown membership once again for your support and encouragement in 2025. It was a big year for me as I started on the professional tour. I have a busy few months ahead, both at home and abroad. I’m currently in Bath University training with a group of fellow professional players as we get ready to start our respective journeys in search of ranking points. Over the coming weeks I will play tournaments in Tunisia and Glasgow, before I return to Ireland for our Davis Cup clash with Syria at the start of February, if selected to play. I’ll drop into the club when I’m home and I hope to see some of you then.
In the meantime, thanks again for everything. Your support is helping me to follow this dream!
Best wishes,
Conor Gannon
