The draws have been published for this weekend’s eight-event, 162-player IACT Irish Junior Open in Dublin.
The 2024 tournament catered for 132 players but the upcoming edition, hosted again by Sutton LTC from Friday to Sunday, has an additional 30 entries.
Five of the eight events have Irish players seeded as the No.1 – Harry Knox (BU13), Christian Dromgoole (BU17), Raghad Aboelela (GU13), Zoe Yeomans (GU17) and Riley Slade (GU19).
The three overseas No.1 seeds include Rafael Rodriguez Segovia (BU15), the Spaniard who won last year’s BU13 title. His fellow countryman, Marc Altarriba, is the BU19 top seed, with England’s Aditi Rao No.1 in the GU15.
Six of the eight events at the 2024 tournament were won by the No.1 seeds.
The three days of play will begin at 9am on Friday in Sutton, with the additional courts at ALSSA clicking into action at midday.
