Lily tops in Galway
Brilliant news from Galway a fantastic win for Lily Frawley in the under 12 ranking tennis tournament. Lily a member of Rushbrooke lawn tennis club and Ballymore Cobh athletic club, has got her new season off to a brilliant start. Winning her 4 matches between Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday she had 2 facile wins 6-0 6-1. Her second round 6-1 6-1. On Sunday she had a much more stern test winning her Semi- final 6-2 7-5 and later in the day won the energy sapping final. The tie ended with a set each against her Mayo opponent. Then it went to a tie breaker which Lily romped to a 10-1 victory.&nbsp;
Ranked 4th in Ireland
The win moved her from 5th to 4th in Ireland in the rankings under 12. A tremendous achievement by this dedicated young lady who is a gifted athlete. Recently she was chosen for a promotional video to promote the daily mile in primary schools in Ireland and in very difficult conditions on the new park at Haulbowline, she clocked a phenomenal time of 6.08 for the mile. Three days after, a few days before the tennis courts opened up after a break of nearly 5 months, she ran an accurately measured 800m on grass in an equally impressive 2.35. In January with her fellow tennis player Ava Chandler both clocked 3.05 for the shorter distance of 710m. Both worked they way from 10 minutes running, up to an hour and the day after ran the original distance in 2.55. This proves beyond a shadow of doubt that long easy runs improves speed as well as fitness and these attributes were plain to be seen in Lily's performance at the tennis tournament in Galway. No doubt when Ava takes to the tennis court when the under 13 tournament takes place she too will reap the reward for her dedicated training.
