Senior Spring Leagues
The Men's and Ladies' Spring Leagues have commenced but the inclement weather during the past week saw very little activity on the courts. However Harry O'Rourke, Kieran Mc Carthy and Dave Costello got their campaigns off successfully, each winning their matches 2-0. All matches must be completed by 30th March with presentation of prizes that evening. As usual the Pyramids will be revised after the league on a two up, two down basis. All matches are best of three sets - The third set may be a 'match tie-break'. All results must be entered on the sheets posted in the clubhouse. No walkovers allowed.
