One of the fastest growing sports in Europe, Padel made its debut on the European Games programme
on Wednesday. Team Ireland’s women’s double of Jennifer Claffey and Susan McRann took on Germany’s Victoria Kurz and Denise Hoefer with the Irish duo bowing out of the competition against the more experienced professional German pairing. The Germans won 2-0.
Speaking after the match, ex-professional tennis player, Claffey explained: “It was a super opportunity today to go out and play against a really strong German team. It was a fantastic experience for us to learn at such a high level, it’s just a shame that we didn’t get the win or go into a third set even and showcase our ability on this level.”Sarah Lavin – 1st – Women’s 100m Hurdles – 12.82Kelly McGrory – 2nd – Women’s 400m Hurdles – 58.08Men’s 4x100m Relay – 1st – 39.
