Cuffy, who turned 45 years old last year and captured the veterans’ singles and doubles titles in the Tranquillity Open Tennis Tournament for the last two years, replaced Jermille Danclar and will serve for the next two years.

Cuffy will be working alongside Anthony Davidson (secretary), Ken Corbie (assistant secretaty), Nola Smith (treasurer) and Phillip Robinson (public relations officer).
Davidson’s son Jelani was one of the leading Under-14 players in the region last year, while Smith’s son Lendl is a former Davis Cup player who was crowned national champion for the third time last year.
Robinson, a former C class runner-up in the Classified Championships, is the father of Gianluc, one the leading junior players in the country.
