Senior Qualification UCD /Senior Classification Finals, DCU, Dublin
28th/29th August
8 BTTC players travelled to UCD, for the first senior classification event of the season. All players including Ian Browne, James O Reilly, Alan Walsh and Emily O Reilly had thrilling first round matches with Kevin O Keeffe and Edel O Reilly topping their groups to proceed to the next stage. The 2nd round also saw Alex Cooney and James Herley going on to play 3 more matches each with James Herley proceeding to the third round before being denied a place in the quarter final by Ulster’s Neil Irwin. Edel won all her matches to qualify for the Senior Classification finals in DCU the following day.
One of the highlights of the day was a match between Alan Walsh and James O Reilly which went to five sets and each set seeing the points going into the 20s
Sunday 29 August saw Edel and Declan play in the Senior Classification Finals at DCU. Both players had a gruelling day of matches against the top Irish senior players. Edel was thrilled to finish 3rd overall, up from her previous 33 ranking at senior level, with Declan finishing 10th in the men’s’ event moving up one place from last season
A big thank you to Ben Haughton for his guidance and coaching over the weekend.
