BDM All Stars Tournament
Saturday 30th May
What a fantastic day of badminton for the All Stars members. First event up was the Parent/child tournament. All of my junior members behaved impeccably but I can't say that about all the 'Dad's' playing. Some of them got a little too competitive, even to the extent of taking the shuttle of their child's racket as they were going to hit it!!! After saying all this everyone had a brilliant time though. Over 50 pairs took part, it was lovely to see families having fun playing badminton. During the day we played U11'B', U11'A', U13 GS, U13 BS, U15GS, U15BS, U19's. Loads and loads of matches played in a great spirit and good sportsmanship and all mostly played to schedule. A huge thank you to the helpers on the day, Katie & Rachael on the desk, Soph & Hayden doing the shop and the court helpers, Dhanay, Cameron, Thivi, Kieran, Gauri & Max.
A massive thank you to Steve Butler & Ryan Parsons from Forza UK for coming down and showing the NEW shirts for the different squads this August. I hope everyone tried on a shirt and gave their sizes to Soph (if not you will need to give me your size asap).
Thank you also to Ryan Carrick who came down and took over 1000 pictures of the players. I hope to have a selection on the website asap.
And lastly a huge thank you to BDM, our sponsors for the day.
