Tyrone Open titles decided at Omagh

AFTER a week of thrilling action at Omagh Lawn Tennis Club, the winners of the Tyrone National Tour 500 Open titles were decided during an exciting finals day.

An entertaining day of on-court action resulted in Jason McMurray and Eve Callaghan picking up the top singles honours after beating Mark Smyth and Kathryn Gaw in their respective finals.

And in the top-flight doubles, McMurray teamed up with Ross McCarey to win the men’s title from Paddy Cosgrave and Francis Venzon, while Gaw and James Laird pipped Venzon and Elaine Chambers to the mixed title.

There were several local winners on the day too with Omagh’s Andy Moore picking up a doubles double with Darren Pearce in the MD2 category and Orla Malone in the XD2 competition, while he had to settle for the runner-up spot in the MS2 event after losing to Ciaran Gillen in the final.
