Castlebar Open

Sligo players were out in force at the Castlebar Open, played over the August Week-end.   Alan Mc Cormack gave some powerful displays of quality tennis, and he and Garrett Barry had a magnificent run in the Mens A Doubles, before losing out the to the local pairing of Daniel Gancy and Michael Cuddy. 

The Sligo contingent played very well, and gave a good account of themselves, both on and off the courts.
