LEINSTER TENNIS LEAGUES

 

Leinster Junior and Primary Schools League

The Leinster Junior and Primary Schools Tennis League started in 1991 and it has grown considerably since then.
 
The competition runs during the last term of the School Year, usually April and May, and has 2 phases:

 

  • Qualifying phase run using a Round Robin type Draw. Whenever possible, teams are grouped geographically.
  • Elimination or Knock-Out phase. Finals are held usually the third week of May.
 
There is an event for Boys and a separate one for Girls. Each team consists of 6 players playing in three doubles teams. Therefore each tie is made up of 3 doubles matches. The first pair to reach 9 games wins each individual match in the tie.
