JUNIOR BADMINTON TOURNAMENT

SPONSORED BY

THORNABY PAVILION LEISURE CENTRE

SINGLES played SATURDAY 29th MARCH, DOUBLES played SUNDAY 30th MARCH 2008

Another very successful Junior Badminton Tournament was held at Tees Active’s Thornaby Pavilion.

The tournament, sponsored by Tees Active Limited who provided the Courts and Higman Sports who provided the shuttles, is open to all players under 19 years old, who attend a school or badminton club within the Tees Valley, regardless of ability.

There were a total of 34 events with categories for boys and girls, singles and doubles and age groups down to under nines.

With 125 participants taking part, the weekend once again saw the Pavilion buzzing with energy and excitement. There were 63 Boys and 36 Girls taking part in the Singles on the Saturday and 43 Boys and 50 Girls taking part in the Doubles on the Sunday.

During the weekend there were 472 games of badminton played, 265 on singles day and 207 on doubles day.

Each event category had it’s own mini-league/s with appropriate semi-finals and finals.

Consequently every player had a chance to play several matches.

Tournament Referee, Roger Cook, said, "Once again the Teesside Badminton Development Association have shown how to run a successful and enjoyable tournament that attracts players of all ages and abilities. He wished to thank Dave Knights from Marske JBC who was the organiser for this Tournament and all the Junior Club Coaches and other volunteers who help run the tournament on the day. Without their efforts, the tournament would not be a success. Also he wished to praise the support of Tees Active and Higman Sports, whose continued sponsorship of this tournament allows the entry fee to be kept low to encourage all players to enter”

Roger added, “Because of the continuing success of this local tournament, the Teesside Badminton Development Association in association with the Durham County Badminton Association, will be running Badminton England Bronze and Silver Tournaments in every age group at Thornaby Pavilion during the 2008/2009 season. Details will be available later in the year on the Tees Valley Badminton website.

Date of next Local Junior Tournament is 11^th / 12^th October 2008.
