Fantastic.

A point lasts longer.

And so I can see how the enjoyment of it is sort of played out.

And how did you get into it?

What's your background?

And what sports did you play when you were here?

And then the Irish Championships, it's quite competitive now, is it?

You can see it's growing.

It's a marketing department's dream, really, isn't it?

You have this grassroots community-led growing sport across the country.

Hiscox are on board.

The insurance company is sponsors of this Irish Open in mid-July.

Clearly, it's attractive to business to partner with a sport like this.

I also spoke with Simon Hunn, he's operations director for the company behind the running of this Irish Open.

Now, they ran the first event last year.

They expect big numbers this July when the second Irish Championships take place.

And I asked Simon, was Paddle just really a home for frustrated tennis players?

That's for the operators to probably... But it must be commercially very attractive.

And roughly how much would I pay for an hour or something like that?

Correct, yeah.
