Maureen Laffey

2 mei 1950 - 5 mei 2021

The LTA were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Maureen at the age of 71. In an officiating career spanning over 45 years, Maureen reached the highest levels of officiating, both on and off court, and was a Gold Badge Chief Umpire. Maureen worked as an official at The Championships, Wimbledon on 47 occasions. Maureen was a line umpire on numerous finals at Wimbledon, including being the first female line umpire on a Men's Singles Final in 1987. Maureen represented the Association of British Tennis Officials (ABTO) on the LTA Council for 13 years before stepping down at the end of 2020. During her time on Council, Maureen served on the Disciplinary and Coach Licensing & Registration Committees. Maureen was the former Honorary Treasurer of ABTO and served on the Management Committee since ABTO was founded in 2000 until March 2021. Maureen made an outstanding contribution to tennis and to British officiating over many years. Her passion, dedication, loyalty and good humour will be sorely missed by the LTA and many officials from all over world who had the pleasure of working with her. Our thoughts are with Maureen's family and friends.

    Maureen and I both started working at Wimbledon in the early 1970's. We supported each other then as "rookies" and over 40 years later Maureen supported me as my "buddy" when I joined the LTA Council. We were also together on the 1987 Men's Singles Final. Maureen as the first woman to work on a line in a men's final and me in the Umpire's chair. Great to look around the court at the change of ends and see Maureen's supportive, smiling face! As we approach Wimbledon 2021 it's so hard to believe that Maureen will not be there with us. I will greatly miss her friendship, expertise, commitment and especially her smile.

Was very sad to hear about Maureen. She was a huge asset to British Officiating and will be missed by all. She taught me a lot over the years we worked together and I will miss her friendship and advice.
