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!
Our “Season Closer” Round Robin and Brunch is scheduled for the Second Sunday of October (October 8th). If you are willing to host brunch on that date, please contact Ellen or Rick. Otherwise, we will stay at the club for brunch on the patio. The SignUp Genius invite for this date will be sent out on September 24th. We hope to see you there!

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. ​

​The Men's Weekend Doubles group held its playoffs over the Labor Day weekend. There were 8 teams competing. The quarter-final round was held on Saturday. Winning teams advanced to the semi-finals on Sunday. The championship was played on Labor Day. It matched Burt Scopeletis & John Robertson against Rick Coffey and Tim Ritchie with Burt & John prevailing as the 2023 champions. (All pictured l to r) 

A BIG thank you goes to group leader Dennis Murphy who continued to organize the men and set matches throughout the season while recovering from surgery and not playing.
