Both Declan and Eva Lynn have earned the coveted parking spots in the Green Belt parking lot. Which their chauffeurs will enjoy

Thanks to everyone for participating! The players poured their hearts and souls into their matches and the Saturday evening social goers poured their hearts and souls into the Riverdale dance floor! Guests were treated to a Bollywood and Indian classical dance presentation by Sanchita Chakraborty and friends, some soulful C&W music by Gloria Thistle, and dance tunes by our favorite tennis band Cold Plate. We were all very grateful for the opportunity to get together, especially Derek Tilley, who won the draw for a Growlers box for 20, with swag. It was the best party we’ve been to in a LONG time, seriously. Don’t miss the next one!.

A huge thank you to our volunteers and also our sponsors: Deacon Sports and Entertainment, Bannerman Brewing Co., Piatto Pizzeria and Enoteca, and Construction Signs Limited.

The Ploughman Cup

The Ploughman Cup takes place once a year on a single evening. Registrants are assigned to equally talented teams of four, and after several hours of play, the group congregates in the clubhouse for food, beverages, some good-natured ribbing and the awarding of prizes.

The Ploughman Cup is a tournament honouring the memory of local tennis player and builder, Burf Ploughman, who made a huge contribution to both our club and the sport of tennis in the province.

Stay tuned for more information as details are finalized.
