The players championship and awards brought the curtain down
on a most successful season for the club on Thursday the 27th April. The county
secretary Caroline Dunne was the guest of honour on the night and the hall was
packed for the eight finals in four grades and as usual all games were keenly
contested. The main event of the night the senior singles finals included
surprise packets Terence McSweeney and Laura Lynch with Laura hoping to emulate
the feat of Karen Henessey in 2002 and become only the 2nd lady ever
to win the title. Laura just failed in her quest with the Waterford based
player in his 1st season in the club securing the coveted title 15/7,
4/15, 15/10. Terence also picked up a 2nd singles title when he overcame Paul
Healy 15/6, 10/15, 15/11 in the intermediate final and won his 3rd
event of the night when he and Laura Lynch defeated Rosemary Burke and Andrew
Wayland 15/7, 15/10 in the intermediate doubles final. Colm Byrne and Brideen
Lynch won their 2nd senior club doubles title when they proved far
too good for the father and daughter combination of Pat and Laura Lynch. The
