🎾 Warrenpoint Tennis Club's Annual ‘Wimbledon Fun Day’ 2026 🎾

We had a fantastic day at the courts channeling our inner Wimbledon Champions, lol!

In true Wimbledon style there were white outfits, thrilling matches, sparkling atmosphere, strawberries & cream and prosecco and prizes!

There was a prize for the whitest outfit & a prize for the most unique outfit which also happened to be white with tennis balls stuck on 😂 Very creative! Inspired by the outfit worn by Naomi Osaka at Wimbledon 😃

There was also a bit of friendly GAA banter ahead of Saturday's matches, lol!
The question is, who will triumph alongside Down next weekend?

Many, Many Thanks to Derek who organised and presided over all of the matches. A Big thank you to Derval & the Tennis Committe for all their hard work behind the scenes and for keeping the place looking lovely. And lastly, thank you to all who participated, donated prizes and supplied refreshments.

It was a Wimbledon Triumph! 🏆 🏆

Thank you to everyone who supported our Wimbledon Fun Day, all funds raised have been kindly donated to the Alzheimer’s Society.

🎾Warrenpoint Tennis Club Hosted it’s Inaugural 'Tennis Ireland' Junior Kids
Tournament May 2026 🎾

Talented preteens from all over Northern Ireland took part in Warrenpoint Tennis
Club's first 'Tennis Ireland' Junior Kids event as part of the Ulster Regional Tour .

The first event was a Green Ball Tournament for 10-12 year olds on full court but with shortened sets and with age appropriate softer green balls. Junior players from the Warrenpoint Club and Juniors from Bangor, Portadown, Ballymena & Dungannon all pitted against each other. All the players conducted themselves admirably and some would present a challenge to quite a few of our adult players, myself included.
The 2 winners Celie from Bangor and Daniel from Portadown proved that consistency and controlled ground strokes win matches.
We were delighted that 2 of our home-grown players also achieved silver and gold.

Results: 🏆
Green Ball
Boys Winner – Daniel Bennet
Runner up- Aaron Smida
Girls Winner – Celie Mitchum
Second – Olivia Tumilty
Third – Elise Henry

Our second event was Orange Ball for 8-10 year olds. This is played on a shortened
and narrower court with age appropriate Orange soft balls. Format is first to 10
points wins. In this age group boys and girls play in the same event. One player was
outstanding, Ali from Newcastle had a technically excellent service action and
incredible forehand which left the other players standing in awe at times. One
commenting that Ali was Wimbledon ready! All the players showed great composure even in defeat.
Parents of Ursula and Olivia must be especially proud to have won medals in both
events since all the Warrenpoint players were competing in these events for the first time.

Results: 🏆
Orange Ball
Gold – Ali Shannon
Silver – Ursula Tumilty
Bronze – Frankie Brash

Congratulations to all Winners.
Especially congratulations to all who took part and made this tournament a great success.

And lastly, a big Thank you & Congratulations to Derek, Siobhan & Derval on a very successful, well run and enjoyable Tournament for all participants & the Club. 👏👏👏

🎾🎾WTC Open Tournament 🎾
Mixed Doubles Cup Final

Caitríona Ruane & Giby Vettiankal v
Ben Laverty & Molly Grant

Giby & Caitríona (2024 Champions) started strongly in their campaign to retain their mixed doubles title by clinching the first set with apparent ease. Molly & Ben came back into the match by securing the second set in similar fashion. There were no giveaways in the final set, every ball, every score was fought for tenaciously leading to a tie breaker decider for the Championship. This was an absolute nail biter of a final and weren't we the lucky crowd to witness such a tense, exciting showdown. Thank you so much Caitríona & Giby on a superb, quality display of edge of the seat tennis! And Congratulations Ben & Molly on your win!🏆🏆👏👏

Men's Doubles Cup Final

Ben Laverty & Devin Callan v
Justin Philpott & Giby Vettiankal

The 2024 Men's Doubles Champions (Justin & Giby) were out to defend their title but their opponents Ben & Devin had other ideas. There were plenty of hard hitting shots from the baseline mixed with razor sharp reflexes at the net which made for a very entertaining doubles final.
There could only be one victorious team in the end and that was Ben & Devin, Congrats!
And well done to Justin & Giby on a fabulous display of tennis for us spectators to enjoy! Amazing!

Men's Doubles Plate Final

Derek Laverty & Eamonn Crawford v
Phil Jeffries & Colm Kernan

It was an extremely close contest between these 2 teams. Absolutely nothing separated them until the last 2 games in the final set. This match had everything, suspense, intrigue, rackets flying, several deuces, tennis balls sneaking over the net & the fence!
It was to be Derek & Eamonn's day in the end & what an ending for the spectators watching on! Thank you to Derek, Eamonn, Phil & Colm for a cracker of a final! Congrats!

Tony McMahon & Natalie Murphy v
Ben Hobson & Kirsty Keegan

Due to poor weather conditions last weekend our mixed doubles plate final took place in the tennis bubble in Comber. As the match progressed it became very clear that little separated these teams. In the end, Ben & Kirsty edged ahead to secure the Plate!
Congratulations to Ben & Kirsty! & Very well done to Tony & Natalie on an epic battle!
