SIS Pitches has completed restoration work on the tennis facilities at Bawnacre Centre in Irvinestown, Fermanagh.

The £250,000 works included the installation of new foundations, drainage, new carpeted playing surfaces and a flood lighting upgrade.

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council funded £139,000 of the project with the remaining £110,000 secured from the Landfill Community Fund.

Chairman of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Councillor Stephen McCann, said: "Before the upgrade one of the courts was closed while the other could only be used weather permitting.

"These facilities have been transformed, ensuring that our residents continue to have access to high specification, modern public tennis courts and facilities within the district.

"This significant investment demonstrates the Council's commitment to delivering on one of the key outcomes of its Corporate Plan; to ensure the people of the district are healthy and well physically, mentally and emotionally through the delivery of quality Leisure, Recreation and Sports facilities across the district."
