THE REVIVAL OF THE COURT

The tennis court has been used to varying degrees over the years. Before the last revival of the court it was used for dog agility training by “Asker Hundeklubb” (approx. 2005-2014), and it was the family of Frits and Ellen Julie Rustad who took care of the maintenance of the court. After the Oppegaard-Liu family moved into Forpakterboligen (just below the court) in the autumn of 2014, it is tennis aficionado Christian Oppegaard (tennis volunteer for several years in Oslo Tennisklubb) who, with the kind permission of farm owner Michael Rustad, has taken the initiative to create new life on the court. The club “Konglungen Tennisklubb” was founded and got its board on 22 September 2015 with chairman Christian Oppegaard, deputy chairman Jon Rustand and board members Lina Liu, Reidar Lie and Benedicte Rustad.

dealing with overgrowth of weed - 19.10.2024

The weed is a persistant invader and particularly on the sides of the court. Many various attempts hav ebeen made to stop the growth, and we have finally landed on the “ultimate” solution: paving stone. The other sides have already been covered with stones and now was the time for the side of the apple garden. The man ual labor is quite tough and luckily many volunteers showed up: Reidar Lie (as always), new passionate Konglungen TK player Henrik Pay with family, Eskil Dahl Marstein, Leo Oppegaard, Lina Liu and Harald Halstensen with son Victor.

MUCH MORE SAND 10.09.2018

Asker Tennisklubb upgraded their courts and we got two courts of sand for free. It was a huge job to disperse the sand around the court,
