Former tennis pro scoops £30,000 top prize
The book, written by Niland in collaboration with Gavin Cooney from the 42, follows the Limerick man’s career as a professional tennis player.
She added, “Niland, pushed to stay in the game by his parents, does not overly dwell on the sacrifices he and they made, but the importance of not disappointing them percolates through each page.” “This prize seeks to highlight the best in sports writing and there is no doubting the fact that Conor’s work is of the highest calibre, offering a fascinating insight into his career as a tennis professional,” said Rudd.
