Senior Tennis

The club hosts two club championships each year, which is a great way to play matches, meet other members of the club and improve your tennis. There is also numerous social and more competitive tennis events in the club throughout the year.

DLTC League campaigns

The club competes annually in all Dublin Lawn Tennis Council leagues. There are slight differences in the makeup of the teams for the different leagues:

Each team consists of 3 doubles pairings. Matches are on Sunday mornings for the men’s teams and afternoons for ladies, usually beginning at the end of January.
Each team consists of 7 players - two doubles pairings and 3 singles. Matches take place for ladies on Mon/Tues/Wed evenings and Men on Friday evenings/Saturday afternoons in early May-June.
Three mixed pairings with matches taking place on Friday evenings in July. Players must be age 18 by 31st December in the preceding year.
Three double pairings over age 35. Men’s teams play Sunday mornings and the ladies on Sunday afternoons from early September.
Four players on each team. Each fixture is two singles matches and one doubles. Team captains draw lots on the night and this dictates who plays singles or doubles that evening. Matches take place on Tues/Wed evenings end of September/ October.
