With the clocks having gone forward last weekend over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, outdoor sports and actitivies will be very busy throughout the Summer months.
With the longer evenings now in situ, Kilkenny Tennis Club has plenty to look forward to in the months ahead.
This week, with the school kids on Easter Holidays there was a Kilkenny Easter U-12 and U-14 Tour, while tonight (Friday) The Kilkenny National Doubles Open Weekend commences with the finals down for decision this Sunday.
Meanwhile on next Friday night the 12th of April, the Friday Night Social Tournament will return at 7.30pm, while the following day on Saturday April 13th the finals of The Frostbite Doubles will take place.
The Junior matchplay competitions continue at the weekends, while The Kilkenny Spring Matchplay which started in March continues till the end of May.
There is plenty happening in Kilkenny Tennis Club right throughout the year, with the Kilkenny Open week starts on Saturday June 8th with finals day on Saturday June 15th, while from Saturday 6th to Saturday 13th July is The Junior Kids Open.
Meanwhile, The St. Patricks Tennis Tournament sponsored by Kilkenny Rivercourt Hotel was held on St. Patricks Eve Saturday March 16th. It was a major success where a huge turnout was in force despite the inclement weather throughout the day.
So much to look forward to over the Summer months and with 8 class 1 grade courts on offer, Kilkenny Tennis Club are in a most priviliged position to cater for anyone who wants to play on a court.
