Wicklow Tennis Club had one team competing in the finals of the Dublin Lawn Tennis Council Senior League last Sunday. The club's men's 1st team traveled up to Clontarf Tennis Club to play Trim in the class 3 finals. When you reach a finals there is no doubt that the games are going to be very competitive. The no 3 paring of captain John Sexton & Eamonn Dillon managed to come through easily enough in two sets but the same could not be said for their team mates. No 1 pairing of Joe Fallover and James Gormley had very tight games all the way and despite several match points they were defeated. It was all down to the no 2 pairing of Simon Kelly & Clyde Wynne, who similarly to James and Joe had three very close sets and a couple of match points but were unable to hold off the stronger Trim pairing. So, hard luck to the team, they gave it their all but it was not to be on this occasion. However, they have gained promotion to class 2 for next year
Sunday 4th October 2009
As we near the end of the Dublin Lawn Tennis Council Senior League, two teams have progressed to quarter final and semi final stage. On Sunday morning last the men's first team playing in class 3 traveled up to Stackallan in Co. Meath and enjoyed a 2-1 win and will now play Castleknock's 1st team at home on Sunday next. The men's second team playing in class 4 came up against a very strong 1st team from Portmarknock at home in the last 16 and will not be advancing to the quarter finals. The ladies first team played the last of their round robin matches at home to Sandycove and secured three vital points which will hopefully see them remain in class one next year. Meanwhile, the ladies 2nd team playing in class 5 headed up to Mt. Pleasant TC and won 2-1 and they will now play Naas away in the quarter finals on Sunday next at 2.00pm. Well done to all the players and subs and best of luck to the men's 1st team and ladies 2nd team on Sunday.
Sunday 27th September 2009
Three of the four teams participating in the Dublin Lawn Tennis Council Senior League last Sunday came away with top points. This means that each of these teams will advance to either play off stage or quarter finals.
The men's first team playing in class 3 were at home to Donnybrook and enjoyed a 3-0 win. They will now play in the quarter finals next Sunday, venue to be confirmed. The men's second team playing in class 4 traveled to De Vesci and enjoyed a 3-0 win and they will play in the last sixteen next Sunday, venue to be confirmed. The ladies first team playing in class one have been unlucky in this campaign. They were unfortunate to lose 3-0 to Naas on Sunday but have one match in hand against Sandycove next week. The ladies second team playing in class 5 were at home to Westwood Leopardstown and enjoyed a 3-0 victory that sees them advancing to the last sixteen next Sunday, venue to be confirmed. So, overall great results and best of luck to all the teams next Sunday and as always many thanks to the subs

The men's first team traveled up to Glenageary TC where they were beaten 2-1, despite losing two points they are still joint leaders with Glenageary going into the final of the round robin matches in class 3 at home to Donnybrook next Sunday. The men's second team were at home to Co. Wicklow LTC and continued on their winning streak. They won the maximum three points leaving them in pole position for their final round robin game next Sunday against De Vesci in class 4.
The ladies first team playing in class 1 were also at home. They played against a very strong Donnybrook TC team losing 3-0. However, they still have two matches to go and hopefully will have better luck when they travel to Naas next Sunday. The second team headed south to Arklow TC and had some super games. They came away with one point leaving both themselves and Arklow on the same points as they head into their final round robin games next Sunday. Thanks to the subs and best of luck to all four teams on Sunday next.
