CREDIT UNION PARENT & TEENAGER
The winners with Lena Carroll of Rathangan Credit Union presenting the trophies & prizes of the R.T.C. autumn program of Family Tournaments Club Championship Congratulations Kieran and Ambrose Dempsey. They lifted the Rathangan Credit Union Parent and Teenager title for a second year in a row. However, This years win was hard fought in stark contrast to their clear cut victory last year. Four teams went into the last match with a chance of the taking the title. Pat & Lorcan were pipped for the bronze medal when they went down 4-1 to Tom and Gemma, who Lorcan forced to play some well placed returns to rescue her team. Ruarai was partnered by Ronnie, ably subbing for his mother, Mary who unfortunately picked up a nasty injury early in the day. This pairing played with distinction and did well to deny Ambrose and Kieran of two games, loosing 3-2, to leave the winners finish level with Cathal & Jean, who played some superbly aggressive tennis throughout the day. Cathal's net play combined with his mothers cover of the base line looked very promising. But Kieran & Ambrose took the title as they had beaten Cathal and Jean by the narrowest margin of 3-2 in a very tight match early in the day. The winning pair were always on the move covering for each other and left less court exposed during the day. It is worth noting that all three teenagers in the medals are playing with some distinction at senior level in the club. Gemma and Kieran are previous winners of the young player of the year and Mark is showing the benefits of some expert coaching. Lena Carroll of the Rathangan Credit Union, presenting the prizes said she thought the future of the sport in Rathangan was assured given the level of skills displayed.
