A LARGE crowd turned up at
Donnybrook Lawn Tennis Club
last week to welcome Minister
Eoghan Murphy to the club for a
special presentation day.
For the past five years, Donnybrook
has been offering tennis
coaching to adults and children
with an intellectual disability and
Murphy presented performance
certificates and an Easter egg to
each athlete.
A Special Needs programme,
now known as Enjoy Tennis, is
organised through Tennis Ireland
and has proven very popular,
attracting over 20 athletes from
all over Dublin every Sunday
morning.
The Minister witnessed the
popularity of the programme and
gave words of encouragement to
the family members and athletes
who had braved the unseasonal
weather to improve their tennis
skills.
Conor Niland, former Irish
number one and Davis Cup player,
also participated and joined the
coaching staff, club members and
Transition Year students on court,
displaying his skills.
After a photograph with the
BIG DUBLIN RIVALRY
Minister, everyone returned to
the club where Aisling Drummy,
a Leinster Tennis Council Representative
and David Clarke,
who coordinates the programme
within Donnybrook Lawn Tennis
Club, thanked the Minister
for attending one of the highlights
of the Enjoy Tennis programme.
