End of Year Junior fun night

Neil Gilmore memorial shield

Friday the 7th of December was the annual junior fun night where the juniors get together for fun tennis and socialising. This year also marked the second year that the Neil Gilmore memorial shield for junior of the year would be presented. This shield is awarded to the junior who didn’t necessarily hit the headlines but was outstanding in their attitude on and off the court and their commitment to the game. This year the shield was awarded to Scott Gilbride.

This year the juniors also had the opportunity to enter a competition to design a logo to put on a junior club “hoodie”. There were a large number of entries for this competition, so well done to all the children who put the time and effort into their designs. The final decision was put to a junior vote on Friday night. The winner of the design a logo competition was Alexandrea Carroll who had entered four outstanding designs.

The juniors also won prizes in a quiz and a game of bingo run by the ever popular John Slowey.
