🏆 Belfast Boat Club Regains Pat Hughes Memorial Trophy! 🏆

After last year’s sobering defeat in Fitzwilliam, Belfast Boat Club restored pride this weekend with a hard-fought and competitive series of matches against our friends from Dublin. Every set was contested with passion, and played in a great Spirit

Honouring a Legend – Pat Hughes

Pat Hughes remains one of the greatest names in Irish and British tennis. A proud member of both Belfast Boat Club and Fitzwilliam, Hughes achieved international fame with major doubles titles in French Oprn (1933), Australian Open (1934) with Fred Perry, Wimbledon (1936).
He also reached the French Open singles semi-final in 1931 and was part of Britain’s Davis Cup-winning teams from 1933 to 1936. His legacy continues to inspire both clubs.
Tradition Revived

The Pat Hughes Memorial Match, revived in recent years, is more than a competition – it’s a celebration of shared history and friendship. This weekend saw not only thrilling tennis but also camaraderie, laughter, and new friendships forged, strengthening the longstanding bond between Belfast Boat Club and Fitzwilliam.
