The Jimmy O'hara Memorial

Article Posted

March 18, 2025

Saturday 5th April  2025       

Hosted by Ballymena TT Club in Ballymena Academy Gym, 89 Galgorm Road, Ballymena BT42 1AJ

Many of you will have known Jimmy O’Hara who sadly died last year at the age of 95.  Jimmy played for Ireland in the 1940s and 1950s and in his later years he represented our club with distinction as both player and Club President. Jimmy was the welcoming face at our club with the friendly handshake for all visitors. He was a wonderful ambassador for table tennis – a fact that was acknowledged by Table Tennis Ireland in 2013 when they awarded him a glass plaque for his services to table tennis. But most of all he was a faithful friend who is sadly missed by all at our club who knew him. We aim to run this tournament each year to benefit local Charities with all proceeds from this event , in its second year, going to Cancer Research NI.
