Susannah qualifies for Dublin Match-plays - 12th Dec.2007

Susannah Hughes Jordan

Susannah Hughes Jordan qualified for the Under 16 All Ireland Match-plays in Dublin this weekend as one of three Ulster representatives in a 16 strong field drawn from the top players from each province. Qualification involved local play-offs within the Western region, followed by provincial play-offs at Ulster level with the ultimate top three performers going forward.

The Enniskillen Lawn Tennis girl’s continued success owes much to the commitment of the club’s hierarchy and the excellent coaching provided by Level 2 coach, Matthew McGann. Susannah has represented Ulster already this year in the Under14 Interpro series and now moves up to her first year at Under 16.

The Match-plays takes place over a 3 day weekend period with each player achieving a 1 to 16 All Ireland ranking depending on a series of matches played over a highly competitive format. Susannah achieved an All Ireland top ten ranking last year at Under 14 level and will seek to emulate her status in her first year at this level, a daunting challenge for the 14 year old Mount Lourdes pupil.
