Junior Badminton
Our Annual tournament with the Artane Beaumont Club took place on November 4th & 5th. As usual, the U13 and U15 Teams and their coaches arrived by train and arrived in the Hall at 3:30pm to play the Singles Tournament which was very well contested by both clubs. In the U13 boys event Mark Loughlin reached the Final and was beaten in a thrilling Final by the narrowest of margins—21 points to 20 by the boy from Dublin. In the U15 Girls Singles Maria Moran reached the final which she lost to the Dublin girl. In the Boys Singles Stephen Keane was the winner in the Final which he won easily.
On Sunday at 2:20 the Team events were played. The U13 ended in a draw at 4 games all. Claregalway were winners in the U15. Congratulations to Michelle Quinn who was awarded the Trophy for the Most Sporting Player in the tournament. Thank you to all the parents who helped over the week-end.
