This isolation season…
…give the gift of tennis.
Coach Garreth O’Carroll writes:
I’m delighted to offer some Coaching Clinics for budding tennis players when these restrictions lift in the South Dublin and North Wicklow areas.
Tennis is one of the few sports where social distancing protocols can be adhered to and is proven to be excellent for training focus, reducing stress and improving Cardio Fitness.
I have five gift Vouchers available for half price at €100. Each Voucher is worth 4 private lessons.
Most my lessons are conducted in Deansgrange [County Dublin] but I can travel if there are local public courts near you.
Why not check out my profile and if you have any questions pop me an email. Stay safe and hopefully see you on the court soon.

In fairness.
Obviously im disappointed that I won’t get to defend the Open championship this year but I feel the RandA have made the right decisions based on people’s health and safety. See you all in Royal St George’s in 2021 pic.twitter.com/zr7uS80lgH

The Cork City Firebirds.
A short documentary by Ronan Kelly, who writes:
The Cork City Firebirds roller derby team invited me to visit them a couple of years ago. When I finally got to record them a few months ago, their zest, spirit and joyful camaraderie was obvious. Now, in our new lives, separate and subdued, it’s even more obvious and more welcome to witness.
