quickly moved up the divisions. Starting in division five John has now
moved up to his current grading of three.
He won four title in the County Charity Tournament in December and was

during the season from division four to division one and helped the club's
division three men's doubles team to an historic first ever title in the
Waterford men's league. John also finished 2nd in the club's singles
ladder and served as the club's vice chairman during the season.
