Cambs Badminton Sees Successful Weekend

It was a busy weekend for Cambs Badminton, as players from the County competed around the Country with much success.

In the junior Inter Counties Championships, both the U13 and U17 squads were in action.  

Still finding their feet in the competition, the U13s travelled to Bedfordshire, where they earned an excellent 11-9 victory even though a last-minute withdrawal meant they started the match 4 rubbers down!

Also in the ICC the U17 team travelled to Northants, where they also recorded a sound victory, winning 13-7.  The match also saw debutant Klaudia Otoka (Ely Victoria) playing, aged 14.

At the other end of the age spectrum, Cambridgeshire was also represented in the 18th English National Masters Championships in Guildford, Surrey.  Olga Bryant competed in all three O40 disciplines (with a 3/4 position in ladies doubles), while Neil Place and Daniel Bates received Silver as runners-up in the O35 mens doubles event, and Neil also came third place in the O35 mixed doubles.

Daniel Bates and Neil Place win silver at 18th English National Masters.
