On September 10th, cloudy skies and humid conditions could not dampen the spirits of our Mixed Doubles enthusiasts, who again filled all six courts for three rotations of social tennis. We then made our way to Brewster where the sun came out for a delicious potluck brunch hosted by Pam and Al Hero on their beautiful deck overlooking Canoe Pond. Including spouses and partners, we numbered 36 strong for brunch – our largest turnout of the season!

Rescheduled twice for rain, the third time was the charm for the first-ever SYTC Color Wars ladies’ event which finally took place on Sunday August 27th. Six teams of four players each competed in an intricate round robin format devised by club manager Steve Francis. Players dressed in their team colors, and sported visors in their team colors as well, for a festive display of SYTC club spirit. In the end, the green team of Ellen Coffey, Kathy Glannon, Maureen McAdams, and Carol Rawlins amassed the most points and brought home the win. Tennis was followed by a sumptuous potluck luncheon of main dishes, salads, and desserts on the club patio – a delicious end to a morning filled with laughter and excitement on the courts. For those who were unable to participate this year, we hope to run this very successful event again sometime in the future.
