Carrickmines was the venue last week for the KPMG Carrickmines 1000
200 & 100 event where we had a a very good representation of our Juniors playing - with some notable results.
Daniel Carney was just pipped in the Final of the U/12 singles - super performance to reach the final, Daniel.
There was a very competitive U/12 doubles final, with three Monkstown players involved! Richie Kennedy and his partner got the better of Daniel and Michael Carney in an exciting match....Congrats Richie!
Congrats to Zach O'Rourke, who won the U/14 Leinster Matchplay event, getting the better of Sam Carney, in what was another all Monkstown Final. Well done guys.
Michael and Daniel Carney are in France this week playing in a tournament..

Looking forward to welcoming all those signed up for the Tennis Camp next Monday. If you can't make this one - there are three others. Guaranteed fun, while learning lots of interesting things on the tennis court.

HOUSEKEEPING ISSUES
BINS
Can members please refrain from putting any leftover food products in the outside bins as it attracts birds which pull out all the rubbish in search of a tasty morsel.
Please use the indoor bins for food instead.
GATES
For our members who assist in opening and closing of the club - We will be replacing the Padlock & Key with a push button Code Panel.
This will be more convenient and quicker to open and close.
