Club Championships
The 2011 Ennis Tennis Championships concluded on 18th September with a series of great finals. The highlight of the tournament was the performance of Ennis man and graduate of the club's junior section Robbie Carkill who captured a clean sweep of the 3 A grade titles. It was the first time that he won the A title. On the way he overcame the holder and 3 -time champion Joachim Pintao. The Gents A tournament is the club's blue riband event and Sunday's final was the 67th occasion that the prestigous Cahill Cup was presented. In the Gents' Doubles Robbie was partnered by fellow Ennis man Dave Clohessy and in the Mixed, Angela O'Sullivan.The Club's historians estimate that it is twenty years since Carkill's feat was last achieved. It was also Angela's first time to win at that level.
In the Ladies A section Fiona Healy won the Singles for the first time after a close fought final with Alice Twomey. In the Ladies A Doubles Liz Tuohy and Margaret Flanagan saw off Londa Kochhar and Maria Dolan.
There was a terrific range of players on finals day and a notable mix of ages ranging from junior Alice Twomey to veterans Martin Dunne & Colette Fannin.
Great credit is due to Tennis Captain Kieran Tuohy and his committe; Colette Fannin, Martin Dunne, Kevin Starling, Martin Guinane and Martin Dunne. Plaudits also to Liz Tuohy and Anne O'Hanlon who took care of the catering arrangements.

Junior Badminton Season Starts
Junior Badminton Planning |
Three young badminton competitors, Karen and Amy
McNamara and Lana Browne, all from Ennis Tennis & Badminton Club, had a
very successful trip to the Sligo Open last weekend – the first event of the
Juvenile Badminton calendar. The
tournament was well-attended, with players travelling mainly from Ulster,
Leinster and, of course, Connaght.
Karen enjoyed a great run in the U13 girls singles
event, reaching the final, where she was eventually beaten in 3 sets by
Leinster No. 1 Clodagh Dunne (who also beat Lana in the second round). Karen played some very good badminton to get
to the final and she certainly made Clodagh work for her title.
Karen and Lana then teamed up for the U13 girls
doubles and made light work of their route through the round-robin stage to
reach the semi-final. This match was a
slightly tougher test but the Ennis girls still managed to win it in 2
sets. Karen and Lana then took on
Clodagh Dunne and her partner Katie McGlone in a highly entertaining and very
competitive final. The Ennis girls lost
the first set, but stormed through to take the second. The stage was then set for a very tense third
set and, although the Ennis girls looked down and out at one stage, they showed
great determination to battle back and eventually take the third set and the
title.
Junior Badminton Planning Meeting |
Amy McNamara was the sole Ennis competitor in the U17
event where she came up against the very talented Ulster player Victoria Ringland
in the girls singles. Although defeated
in 2 sets, Amy played some very good badminton in this match. In the singles plate event, Amy finished in
the runner-up spot, losing out in the plate final to Leinster’s Nora O’Gorman.

Senior Club Championships
The Senior tennis Club Championships commenced last week and matches are scheduled each evening. Finals Day is for Sunday 18th. Whilst entry levels are down in a some competitions there are still some very competitive matches scheduled each evening and the bar is open.
Participants are requested to check the noticeboard to establish when their matches are scheduled.
Members and friends are most welcome to come along along to support the club and individual players.
The Gents' Singles event is proving the most competitive. A batch of Under 18 juniors and younger players seasoned by a Summer of competitive tennis are proving to be very competitive and more than a match for the slightly older players. Eoin Power made a great start and progressed to the next round. Daniel Foran, in the game of the tournament so far took champion Joachim Pintao to 3 sets before just losing out.
