Captain's Prize:
 
I propose to award a Mens Captain's prize to the two  mens doubles Winter League players (subs. included ) who win the most League  points.With this in mind,Captains please keep a copy of each team sheet result. Watch this space, stay competitive and remember 'A winner never quits and a quitter never wins'

Men's Ladder
The long awaited STC Men’s Ladder - generously sponsored by Connolly Shoes -  is now up and running on the website.(check links above) This Ladder will take a while to settle down -so bear with us while some errors are corrected but meanwhile enjoy the competition! The STC ladder results will aid future team selection.
A reminder Email has been sent  to all concerned urging more ladder challenges and participation.Now that 2012 has arrived get cracking and start challenging! Please check that STC has your correct Email address - some messages have bounced back.


Men's Morning
Men’s Morning -Thursdays 11am – 1pm  - has now  resumed.  Men’s Morning on Sundays from 10-12 continues to be a great success, both socially and physically, and I would encourage all players to participate and meet new members. It’s also a great venue to hear what's happening and who’s doing what! .Keep an eye on STC notice-board and website about proposed arrangements.

CHAMPS Turkey Shoot-out!
 The final play-off  for the Champs Trophy went down to the wire and was eventually won by David Heffernan,closely followed by John Kelly,Tim O'Herlihy and Niall Larrigan.A special word of thanks to our local TD and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade,Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore,who joined us for breakfast and presented the prizes.This was the 13th year of the Champs Challenge Competition which ,as always, was generously sponsored by Ed.Walsh of Champs Barbers.Photos of the day and of  the DLRCC reception,kindly hosted by Cathaoirleach John Bailey, are now posted on our  website and will feature in the March issue of SCAN magazine.
  


EASTER CUP 2012 : This annual Mens Doubles competition for non-league class 6-7 players is scheduled to start Saturday March 3rd.              This year we have  entered two teams.Team 1 will be captained by Matt Connolly and Team 2 will be captained by Paul Deery. We were   runners-up to Glenalbyn in 2011 and now stand  a great chance to adorn the clubhouse this Easter with a well-deserved  trophy!                Watch this space and the club noticeboard for more information.
