Cork tennis League returns for 2012
From Rob (Cork tennis blog)

Congratulations to last years winners, Sheila Stokes and James Cooney.
I would like to thank all those who took part last year and hopefully we will have an event for you again this year.
For the event to run this year I need more people to take part, to be able to sell it to the likes of Babolat.
So it will be done on a pre registered system this year.Therefore I need all tennis players to enter and also to sell it to their club mates.

Feedback from last year was not a lot of people knew about the league so no excuses this year !!!!!!!!!!!

So here's your chance to win 2 rackets, a racket bag, shoes and clothing, all you have to do is email me (rob_leahy@yahoo.co.uk) with your name and contact number.Closing date for entries is March 18th.

If there are enough entries at that stage I will run the event, and I will confirm sponsor soon after.
