Recent events in the Claremont Railway LTC included a Family Tournament on 12th June and a Mid-Summer Tournament on 21st June.

This latter event was chosen to celebrate the refurbishment of the Club’s premises. The five grass courts have been brought to championship standard. Together with the installation of new floodlighting, sight-screens and hedges and an improved programme of sanding and sweeping it means the Club now has tennis-playing facilities on a par with the best in Dublin.

A large and active junior membership will be supervised throughout the summer holidays by the Club Steward, Padraic Halpin, who will be present from 11am to 1 pm and from 2 to 5 pm, on weekdays from now until the end of August.

Junior Tournaments, coaching, inter-club matches, fun-days and the annual Club picnic to Brittas Bay on Tuesday 16th August ensure that younger members are well looked after.

Up-coming events include the Claremont Railway LTC Summer Championships, which will take place in August and the Club At-Home (which is the social highlight of the year) will take place on Saturday 27th August.

Coaching may be arranged on an individual or group basis with the Club coaches, Claire Kirwan, Joanne O’Reilly, and Tommy McKeogh.

Thursday night American Tournaments in the summer season and ‘coffee morning’ tennis on Wednesdays are always popular.

Facilities in the Pavilion include full bar licence, Sky Sports, large-screen television for big sporting events. Tennis members may join other sporting sections of Railway Union at a reduced rate. Sports include: Rugby, Hockey, Cricket, Bowls, and Soccer.

Membership is open and costs less than you might think.
