Inaugural Ray Rooney Memorial Tournament

Twenty doubles teams from Galway, Loughrea and Ennis competed at this year’s Spring Doubles Tournament at the Galway Lawn Tennis Club.

The men’s A section, for the Ray Rooney Memorial Trophy, was a local battle won by Pat Dillon and Al Waterson who defeated Joe Higgins and Donal Hegarty in the final. Hegarty’s regular singles opponent was Ray Rooney, a life-long club member and Irish international after whom the tournament is named.

In a close ladies’ section, Loughrea pair Helen Lawless and Olivia Deeley emerged victorious with Galway’s Joan Kilcummins and Noelle Gallagher finishing runners up. The men’s B was won by another Loughrea pair, Ray Gately and Lewis Gallagher.
