LTC Success in First Year of League Play

June 9, 2024 / admin

For the first time in the Ladner Tennis Cub’s 48-year history, we fielded two Men’s League Teams in the C1 and B2 Lower Mainland Divisions, with the C1s finishing 8^th of 11, and the B2s winning their division!

Kudos to Ray King and Gary Porter, and Ray Mah and Matt Barker for organizing and being captains of their respective teams over several weekends of competition. Their volunteer commitments of time and effort are to be commended.

Congrats to both men’s league teams! Pictured below is the winning B2 team: Mike E, Bruce M, Mike S, Gary P, Ray K, Greg T, Peter Z, Tim S, Steve V, and Jack H.

We should also recognize that none of this was possible without the efforts of prior LTC boards. In 2015-2016 Frank Gauvin, Brad Danyluk, JJ Arignon. and our current President, Denise Reid made a two-year pitch to the City of Delta to have our deteriorated courts seriously upgraded. The pitch worked! We are now part of Tennis BC ’s Lower Mainland League family, and we all get to enjoy a beautiful facility. As the LTC grows, it would be great to add a Women’s team to the mix in the future!
