Successful Inaugural 4-Nations Event in Paris
The inaugural 4-Nations 0/45 Padel Tournament in Paris on 7th-8th April was reckoned a great success by all involved. The tournament was played at the imposing 12-court Casa Padel indoor centre in St.-Denis (https://www.casapadel.fr/Index.aspx).
In the team event on Saturday 7th April, Ireland beat Scotland (2-1) and Monaco (3-0) but came off second-best against a strong England team (0-3, although all competitive matches). The final standings were:
1st England
2nd Ireland
3rd Scotland
4th Monaco
Ireland’s No.1 pair, David Borton and Barry Coffey reached the semi-finals of the individual event on Sunday 8th April. The event was won by a local French pair who had qualified from a preliminary event held in parallel with the 4-Nations team event on Saturday 7th, beating the Scottish No.2 pair, David McCulloch and John Byrne, in the Final.
Planning has already started for the 2019 edition, which it is hoped can be expanded to include an official French team in the team event.
