The annual match took place in Banbridge this year on Sat Aug 7th. The team that travelled was Derek Collins, Joe Meehan, Noel Devitt, Eanna McHugh, Frazer McKimm, Seamus McLaughlin, Mary Mulloy, Yvonne Ryan, Pauline O'Driscoll, Siobhan Ryan, Deirdre Howett & Linda Clarke. We had a very enjoyable day's tennis with the final score being 6-6 which really reflected the day. We had a fabulous meal in The Pot Belly and drank and danced well into the early hours of Sunday. Indeed there were a few who carried on a bit longer back at the hotel but I'll say no more about that.
For those of you who don't know the history this is an annual match that goes back to the 70s and the Troubles. Teams have travelled up and down every year since it's inception and often at times when few people would cross the boarder. It is a very special event and something to be proud of. In addition it is great fun as everyone who has travelled will testify to.
