This year marks the 50th anniversary of the setting of a Guinness World Record of 55 hours for a Men's Doubles Tennis Match at Tullamore Tennis Club. It was a major event at the time with many leading people in the town showing their support. The Tribune covered the historic event and took some pictures which were featured in the paper.
