Green Team are Colours League Champions
The finals of the colours league took place last Thursday evening. The first match on court was the
final of the Colours League Plate between team purple and team white. It was a close match with
plenty of drama. Team purple just had enough on the night to earn the victory, winning by three
games.
The championship final was between team green and team orange. Team green were strong
favourites, but the orange side put in a very commendable performance, losing out to the eventual
champions by only 5 games. The presentation of prizes followed, along with plenty of refreshments.
The Colours League was a great success. We had 54 players taking part, and many other members
filled in as a substitute, each having regular games and getting to meet other members of the club.
Well done to our captain Ciaran O’Kennedy who organised the event. We say a special thanks to the
competition sponsor, Kevin Moloney of Albany painting and decorating for his generous
sponsorship.

Munster Winter League Phase II 2022

draw with Sunday’s Well at home, while the grade 6 ladies (scissors) team lost out to a strong
Monaleen side 4-0 in Mitchelstown.
