Download an application form here, for our Summer School 2008. Cityside v Waterside - The Result. Another great afternoon's fun was had by all who took part in the second rubber of the City versus Waterside match at St Colunmb's park courts. The rivalry built up in these matches is unmatched and certainly as captain of the Cityside team I want to pay tribute to the excellent effort put in by all our team on Saturday last. After some very competitive games we held a 4 point lead going in to the last series of matches. It was only after some dramatic last minute substitutions by our opposition and the arrival of fresh legs in the shape of ace in the hole Paul Mc and his sidekick Fahad, never say die, Falahha that we had to give best to the folk from the other side of the Foyle. More power to captain Jimmy L , you pulled out all the stops and eked out a dramatic victory. To our team I say again well done Mickey, Kieran, Gemma, John, Peter, Sandra, Anne, and Caolain. Thanks for showing up and putting out! Thanks also to Karen for the superb organization and to chairman Ron for his excellent stewardship and for the wine. It was great. I recommend you all make the next round of this event. It's great fun. City of Derry Singles Championship 2007
This year the singles tournament will be based on the round robin format as
seen in some of the ATP events this year. Each player will be given a grade,
these gradings will be advanced club player(a)/ developing club player(b).
It is envisaged that there will be four/five people in each group made up of
at least 2 advanced club players. Each player in each group will play round
robin against each other. Matches will be best of 3 tiebreak sets. For every
set won, players will receive 2 points regardless of whether or not a player
wins the overall match. A bonus point is awarded if the loosing player is
within 2 games of the victor (6-4 7-5 or 7-6.) and to the victor of every
match.
Cityside vs. Waterside
The first round of the wildly-anticipated East bank versus West bank competition took place on Thursday 17th May. Typically, the weather was forecast to shower us with rain for the entire evening, but this did not put off the two dozen club members who arrived to show their loyalty to their home turf. With five out of six courts in use, the two captains, Jimmy Logue and Mark Moroney, had a tough time making their encouragements heard, but managed to slip in some fighting talk during the break!
Tennis Juniors City of Derry Juniors The City of Derry Junior Tennis club is thriving, each week more and more players are attracted to the St Columbs park courts for some great tennis and even better craic. The club started about 3 weeks ago and already have 10 members playing weekly, honing their skills and talents. Many also go to the tenniskids coaching programme on Saturday mornings directed by club coach Peter Fryer. Grassroots tennis is certainly looking healthy and the club hope that all these players will eventually progress onto senior competitive tennis for the City. Tennis Club members availing of the car parks space at St Columb’s House are asked not to block the entrance to the new car park. Club members should park inside new car park and not across the entrance.
