William Fry has congratulated the winners of the Irish Junior Lawn Tennis Championships of Ireland, one of the oldest amateur sporting events in the world, which it has sponsored for the 12th year.

The tournament began at Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club on Sunday 15 August following two days of qualifiers and culminated in the grand finals across eight events on Saturday 21 August, with a presentation of prizes to the winners on the day.
