Tennis…Everyone! (Updated…again!!)
17 April 2024Nestled as we are between the shadow-dappled courts of Herbert Park and the power and prestige of the Fitzwilliam Lawn and Tennis Club, it is rather natural that St. Conleth’s would develop a tennis culture. And, indeed, tennis, like fencing and cricket and the ‘slowest bicycle race’, has been linked with the school since its very founding. And, like with all sports at St. Conleth’s, ‘participation’ is the name of the game in Conlethian tennis: Mr. Aiden ‘Lob’ Lonergan encourages all and sundry to take part in his weekly training sessions and, now, the early matches of the Leinster League. And, so far, it has been more than just ‘taking part’, as Junior Boys won their recent encounter with Ed. Tog.-Sandymount as did the Senior Girls vs. Alexandra College! And Junior Girls with a victory over St. Laurence’s College!
