Work has started on the next stage of the development of the club’s facilities. The next phase will include a 3rd court, lights and all weather surfaces for all 3 courts, a small temporary clubhouse, a CCTV security system and improvements to the car parking area and grounds.
​
Having received funding recently under the Sports Capital grant which will cover most of the cost of the latest development, the club still needs to raise more funds towards the costs. Their latest fundraiser will be a Wimbledon draw, with tickets now on sale - for just €10 you get drawn one female and one male player with 10 chances to win cash prizes.
​
Club activities have continued at the courts during the works with the club also getting access to use the courts at Ard Scoil Mhuire when necessary.

On the court there has been plenty of action with all the various age groups and players getting back out for the summer months. There are open club sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays from 6-9pm and Sundays 10am-2pm with the first hour focusing on newer members.
