- Two women holding tennis racquets on a grass court, with a lawn-roller to the right, in front of a three-storey building.
- Description
-
The two tennis players in the photo may be Rita Carlos, mother of Patrick Larkin, and her sister Nina Carlos.
The tennis courts in front of the Engineering Building (now Block E) were later made into a carpark.
The UCG Tennis Club was founded in the 1960s and in 2007 was re-established as a competitive intervarsity team. Instead of the long vanished courts pictured here, the University Tennis Club's members now have access to the Galway Lawn Tennis Club's facilities. - References
