Practice Partner Wanted

cisco · 23-05-2005 5:43pm #1

Hi all.Im looking for a practice partner to play a couple of times a week in Bushy Park Dublin. Just Getting back in to the game after a few years out and looking for a regular hit.

almostagassi · 24-05-2005 4:02pm

join rathgar tennis club, its behind the aib there. check out rathgartennis.com, there is an opening evening Thurs June 2nd, 7.0 -9.0pm

pwd · 24-05-2005 4:10pm

I live right beside that club, but 430 is too much to pay for me.

Wouldn't mind a game or two in bushy park though. I've only played a few times for fun this spring and last summer, so if you're at all good you'll want to find someone nearer your own standard.
What age are you? (getting hammered by a 16 year-old would be bad for my self-image

)
I'm 25.

if your on the terenure side of bushy you could play on the courts in terenure college either.

pwd · 14-06-2005 11:56pm

really? Are they free to use? I've been playing quite a bit of tennis recently...they're removing all but 4 of the ones in Bushy Park to make way for skatpark and carpark

kjt · 18-06-2005 9:46am

I'd like to play a bit. I havent played in a while but was fairly good when I played. I used to be a member of templeogue tennis club but didnt really know anybody there so just left. 20yrs old btw

(and yes, Terenure college is free. Some days they do charge in the summer when it gets busy tho. There is also tennis lessons run during the summer between 11-3/4 I think so ya cant use em then)

I used to play when I was younger, been out myself for a couple of years but still well able to give a decent enough game, serve wouldnt be great though!

Wouldnt be able to play every week but if you're looking for maybe once a week Id love to give you a game.

I played a game there the other day and havent totally lost it.
Could still give somebody a good (whipping) ... game

emra · 06-07-2005 12:19pm

I am free for a game, the best location for me is Herbert Park though, or somewhere near the city center. Weekends are perfect! Longing for a tennis partner of medium high level.

kkposse · 06-07-2005 1:22pm

yes any one interested? I'm looking for a game of tennis around the city centre, 2 free courts in clontarf suits me well as I only live 5 mins away if anyone around that area would like a game , give me a shout.

kjt · 06-07-2005 5:06pm

are there courts in herbert park. anyone know how many and how decent the nets are?

kjt · 06-07-2005 6:26pm

I think there's about 10courts, the nets are in ok condidions. I havent seen the back courts. You have to pay too in Herb... (but not if you go early

)

alekito · 25-07-2005 2:00pm

Hey, I've been playing 2/3 years and I'm looking for a regular tennis partner in Dublin. I usually play in Herbert Park which is good as you pay as you play. Anyone interested give me a shout!

cisco · 25-07-2005 3:18pm

hey.Would be def interested in playing a couple times a week. Text me on 087 7804252

kjt · 25-07-2005 4:35pm

I can give somebody a game Wed/thur evening if anybody's interested

I got a mate too, So maybe a game of doubles..

artifix · 09-08-2005 11:34am

Is there anybody available for tennis in North Wicklow area or South Dublin?
Someone not too young and not too brilliant would suit me fine. I think I know all the free courts within a 5 mile radius.
Just getting back into it after break of a few years, so a bit rusty at the mo.

GoneShootin · 09-08-2005 11:55am

Im always up for a game in the Cork/South Tipp area. PM me if anyone from there is interested.

Ill bring cheese!

South Dublin, if your interested some time.

Maley park is nice and free

artifix · 12-08-2005 1:01am

Thanks for the offer kjt. I didn't know about Marley. Think I'll go check it out and see how long it takes to get there. They keep changin' all the roads down our way so it might be quicker now if.... I don't get lost.

kjt · 12-08-2005 10:37am

I drive down to redcross every few weekend and it takes about 40mins since the new road opened up. If you can think of any other place I can try meet you there.

Maybe the next time I'd down in redcross we could play a game there.

Young Siward · 27-08-2005 10:41pm

Always on for a game, anyone around either NE Dublin or UCD during term fancy it PM

jackal · 05-09-2005 1:49pm

Hi, I started playing again about a month ago with a mate but he doesent have any free time. Would love 2-3 games a week. I live beside UCD, have a motorbike, so can travel to free courts (cisco - if you are still looking give a shout 0868106324). Im 26, beer belly (reason why I started again:p) and can't serve, but I did have lessons and play seriously-ish when I was much younger, so I can probably give a decent game to a fellow born-again-er! Really enjoy playing at the mo, its a great game.
