Balrothery mens team lost to Portmarnock in the deciding game of the league by 3 matches to 2 but tied in aggregate with their home win of 3-2. Winner was decided on game difference where Portmarnock had the better result making them Fingal Tennis League 2012 winners.

Balrothery 1 ladies lifted the newly reformed Fingal Tennis League trophy in style with a 4-1 victory over Swords 1 ladies. It was a hard fought contest between both teams, especially the doubles. Well done and we all look forward to the ladies defending their trophy next year in what we all hope and believe will be a much bigger league.

Balrothery Tennis Club’s next committee meeting will be held on Wednesday 6th June in the Clubhouse Balrothery Tennis Courts at 8.45pm weather permitting. If the weather is bad then it will be transferred to the Balrothery Inn.

Well done to winners Fiona Carey & Barry Dean and runners up Noele Rooney & Sam Gallen.
It was a very successful evening with a great turn out, thanks to all that that took part.

Every Wednesday night weather permitting we have our social tennis club night. On the night everyone gets playing in randomly selected doubles which are alternated during the night. Non members interested in joining the club are always welcome to come along on club nights and give it a try before joining.

Last year BalrotheryTennis Club enhanced the clubhouse and playing facilities at the courts. This year we intend to develop further the level of tennis taking place at the club courts. While the Adult Tennis programmes are taking good shape and we are developing these further, it is also BTC’s intention this year to develop more club programmes for children and introduce over 55’s tennis activities. The club is growing steadily and is the local tennis club for the catchment area of Balrothery and Balbriggan. Everyone is very welcome with all standards catered for, in an all inclusive friendly environment.
