One of Ireland's premier open table tennis competition takes place on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 October 2010 at UCD Sports Centre , Belfield. Upwards of 100 players are expected to compete across a range of events.
In the Men's Open Singles, John Murphy will be looking to retain the title from last year but will face strong competition from Sam Logue and Ashley Robinson. Other players who will fancy their chances include the Eastpoint trio of Daniel Keenan, Gavin Maguire and Mark O'Flynn. Conor Nolan also makes his first competitive appearance of the season.
The Ladies Open Singles will be keenly contested with players such as Ashley Givan, Rita Kacsandi and Rebecca Kenny seeking to take the title. Other players likely to feature include Sarah Timlin, Sabina Devereux, and Fiona Dennett, all in the top 10 in Ireland.
The various banded events and the U21 and veterans events will also feature top quality table tennis. It is difficult to choose from a very strong list of contenders in these events but no doubt there are some great matches in store. The banded events will take place on Saturday.
The Open Singles and other events will take place on Sunday.
The Leinster Grand Prix will feature the best of Irish table tennis and we encourage spectators to come along to UCD for what promises to be a thrilling weekend.
