GlaxoSmithKline May Weekend Junior Tournament
With almost eighty young competitors from twenty clubs throughout Munster the GSK sponsored Junior Singles Tournament is as strong an event as ever on the Junior Calendar. Events were held for both Boys and Girls in the U12, U14 & U16 age groups. A plate event was also run in each category. Spectators enjoyed some great performances from the young players over the May Bank Holiday Weekend. Marian Healy and her dedicated team looked after the troops and kept them well fed over the four days. Thanks to their commitment a full kitchen service was in operation with Tasty Treats for the kids and something a little more substantial for the proud parents watching on. Thanks to Marian and all her helpers. On the organisational side a big thank you is due to Brian Walsh, Frank O'Sullivan, Ken Murphy, Mark Cunninghan, Sheila Stokes and all those who made themselves available to act as court supervisors. The Club would like to thank local company GlaxoSmithKline for their continued support and all the players and parents for their participation in yet another great weekend of Junior tennis. |

KBS Cup -Update Carrigaline played Rushbrooke at home on Sunday 18th April 2010. At their previous meeting Carrigaline won the match 3 – 0. Rushbrooke fielded a different team this time around and Carrigaline lost the two singles games. Daire O’Mahony and Kate Williams won the mixed doubles while Kevin Harrington and Stephanie Corkery lost their singles match. However, it transpired that the Girls Singles player for Rushbrooke was ineligible to play so Carrigaline were awarded the point for that match giving a final tally of 2 – 1 to Carrigaline. The team played Ballinlough last Sunday, 25th April 2010. Whilst this was due to be an away fixture for Carrigaline, Ballinlough travelled to Carrigaline as their courts were not available. The previous match with Ballinlough was lost 3 – 0 in windy conditions but the team triumphed yesterday with a 2 – 1 win. Stephanie won the girls singles and Kate and Daire won the mixed. Kevin had a really close match, the second set going to a tie break, but unfortunately he came out on the losing side. The final match against Mallow B will probably be played over the weekend of 8th May 2010 due to the GSK Junior Open taking place over the May Bank Holiday Weekend. Ballinlough have two fixtures to play, their home and away matches against Rushbrooke. Ballinlough were on full points until the match yesterday so they are the ones to beat. The outcome will depend on their results against Rushbrooke and on whether Carrigaline can take full points against Mallow B at home. |

KBS Cup
The KBS Team travelled
to Mallow last Thursday, 8th April 2010, and had a
clean sweep over MallowB winning all three matches. Whilst the
results would suggest the team had an easy run, the games were
actually very close and all the players were on court for well
over an hour even though all the matches were won in just two
sets. Kevin Harrington, playing the Boys Singles, was on court
for over an hour and a half eventually winning 6 -1, 6 -2. Kate
Williams and Daire O’Mahony won the Mixed Doubles 6 -1; 6 -1 and
Stephanie Corkery won the Girls Singles 6 -2; 6 -1. Mallow were
lovely hosts and the team look forward to returning their
hospitality when they travel to Carrigaline for the home
fixture.
After a very good start
against Rushbrooke, Carrigaline lost three 3 matches to
Ballinlough at home on Wednesday 31st March 2010. All the
matches were very close and could have gone either way,
especially the singles. It was very windy and not the best
weather for tennis. Hopefully the team will do better on the
return fixture. The next match is away to Mallow B and is to be
played by 11th April 2010. The Carrigaline team of Kate Williams, Stephanie Corkery,
Kevin Harrington and Daire O’Mahony travelled to Rushbrooke last
Sunday to play their first match in this tournament. The team
had a very success win over their hosts. |

Junior Interclub Tournaments - Wilson Cup & KBS Cup Good fun with a competitive edge, and the need to keep our juniors interested during off-season, was the inspiration for the formation of both the Wilson (formerly Casey Cup) and KBS (formerly OK Cup) Junior competitions. Both events have being going strong now since the early 90’s and were the brainchild of founder members of Carrigaline Tennis Club who still oversee the running of both events annually. The Wilson cup is a team event for under 12’s and under 14’s while the KBS is for the under 16 age group. The success of both events has been based on the theme of fairness and this has been managed by controlling the entrants each year. Both Cups are effectively winter leagues for juniors who may be a level below Munster squad status. Previous years tournaments winners are excluded from playing to ensure that those who do take part have a fair chance of doing well in their event. If this can be achieved every year, then the hope would be that more kids will be encouraged to stay playing tennis in addition to the many other sports they will experience in the early years of life. The Wilson Cup runs from Late November to May each year and the KBS Cup runs from March through May. The finals for both events are hosted by Carrigaline Tennis club every year just after the GSK singles tournament which is held over the May weekend. Carrigaline Tennis Club are delighted with the success of both events over the years and look forward to being involved with Junior Tennis in Cork for many more years to come. Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children’s Sport Carrigaline Tennis Club has adopted the Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children’s Sport as set out by Tennis Ireland as an integral part of club policy on children and club membership.
The Junior Sub-Committee
will begin implementing the policies and will appoint officers over the
next couple of months. Carrigaline Tennis Club Official Guidelines & Code of Ethics The Club would like to acknowledge Frank O'Sullivan for his involvement in the preparation of this document.
