Young Ennis stars win Munster silver medal

TWO teams, U-13 and U-16 took part in the Munster Community Games in UL last Saturday.
A very young team with some playing competitively for the first time played some wonderful tennis in the U-13. Although they didn’t get through to the final, they are likely to be strong contenders for next year’s Community Games. The U-16s had some very tough games and got through to the final, where they played a very strong Cork side, and narrowly lost out to them. The panel of players who competed included Stephen Keane, Nathan D’Arcy, Olena Ochinnova, Jummy Akintol, Ciarán O’Brien and Niamh O’Shea. Their coach is Danny Comerford.
