firmus energy and the County Armagh Junior Tennis Championships
firmus energy, the company who is bringing natural gas to homes and businesses
in Portadown, recently announced its support of the County Armagh Junior
Tennis Championships which run from 4-9 August at Edenvilla Park, Portadown.
Jennifer Lynott, marketing officer for firmus energy explains, “We have
been working hard in the local area for a number of months to bring the
practical, environmental and cost benefits of natural gas to many homes and
businesses in Portadown. In each of the towns and cities in which we work, it
is part of firmus energy’s ethic to contribute positively to the community and
so we try support local initiatives and projects where possible.
“This tournament is one of the highlights of the sporting calendar in
County Armagh and firmus energy is delighted to play a part in harvesting the
tennis talent of the local area. I am sure the competition will be as close
and as gripping as this summers Wimbledon final. I would like to take this
opportunity to wish everyone taking part the best of luck and hope play isn’t
too interrupted by the rain!”
Lyn Jamison, chairman of Portadown Tennis Club and president of Tennis
Ireland, in welcoming the support from firmus energy, comments, “This event is
part of a series of Ulster Tennis Tournaments and continues to go from
strength to strength with more than 100 players from Ulster Tennis Clubs
taking part. This is an important tournament which will give participants the
opportunity to improve their tennis ranking and possibly progress to the
regional and even all Ireland squad and so plays a significant role in
developing local young tennis players.
“Organising and holding a tournament of this size wouldn’t be possible
without the help and financial assistance of local businesses and I would like
to take this opportunity to thank firmus energy for their support, proving
that they are an integral part of our community.”
firmus energy has been working hard to bring natural gas to customers in
Craigavon, Lurgan, Banbridge, Derry, Limavady, Coleraine, Ballymoney,
Ballymena, Antrim, and Newry. The company is also working to connect customers
in Armagh and Portadown later this year.
