Irish tennis club turned into indoor haven for all

SAPCA member, Copri Systems, has played a crucial role in transforming Killaloe Ballina Tennis Club in County Clare, Ireland into a modern, multi-surface venue – and making it perhaps the most sophisticated indoor facility in Munster, if not Ireland.

The venue used to be a two-court outpost on the banks of the River Shannon.

However, as playing numbers increased and demand for playing slots rose, new courts and facilities become a necessity.

With the help of Copri, the courts at the club have now been covered and fitted with LED lighting.

David Ryan, KBTC treasurer, said: “We are now an all-weather, all-times club. There’s LED floodlights in it so it can be used at night. It just opens up a huge amount of possibilities. “People will want to come and experience playing indoors. And then the primary schools can use it.”
