Heartbreak for Grade II men at Munster Winter League final

-

On Sunday our Grade II men travelled to Catholic Institute in Limerick for the Munster Winter League final to take on a reputably strong team from Limerick Lawn. It was an extremely hard-fought battle. The lads came back from being 2 down going into the second matches to draw 2-2. Forcing the exciting super doubles, Owen and Denis taking to the court, it was neck and neck throughout the set. Going 4-5 after four deuces and 3 match points. Unfortunat­ely the set finished 4-6 to the Limerick side. The narrowest of margins. We are extremely proud of the team and their terrific cam

paign through the league.

Grade 2 men’s team: Michael Waldron (capt), Aidan McNamara, Denis Linehan and Ciaran O’Kennedy. Subs: Owen Braun, Cillian Dollion.
