Superb Winter League run ends for grade 4 men

-

The grade 4 men suffered defeat against a very strong Garryduff side in the Winter League Phase 1 semi-final on Saturday. The matches were close and the men fought hard and played some super tennis.

They have had an amazing campaign. Paddy Leonard, Liam O’Grady, Ray Hurley, Dermot O’Donovan and Sean Keane all played their part in representi­ng the club so well. We wish Garryduff all the best in the final.
