History
The Tivyside Lawn Tennis Club was founded in 1878.[2] There were four grass courts and two croquet lawns.[3] The grass courts were located in the meadows downstream of the river Teifi in Adpar, with a small pavilion and refreshments marquee (Emlyn Arms supplied). The first champion in 1881 was George Bowen of Llwyngwair.[4] Bowen was also Master of the Tivyside Hunt, 1893–97 and High Sheriff of Pembrokeshire in 1914.[5]
In 1908 the earliest records of the existence of a Tivyside Lawn Tennis & Croquet & Bowls Club in Newcastle Emlyn, was listed in the Tivyside Advertiser Newspaper.[6] The Tivyside Lawn Tennis Club shared the Teifiside LTC facilities.[7] The Tivyside Lawn Tennis Club also staged its own tournaments.[8] In 1956 the grounds were sold and the club became non-existent.[9]
