Paula leads the Blazers charge

Nottingham Blazers Wheelchair Badminton Club won seven medals at the 4 Nations ParaBadminton Championships at Stoke Mandeville Stadium in Aylesbury.

Paula Robinson was the biggest winner in the wheelchair category with three gold medals.

After taking the wheelchair ladies' singles 21-15, 21-9 over Nottingham Blazer's club-mate Bernadette O'Driscoll, Robinson then secured the wheelchair ladies' doubles.

Robinson was partnered by Erica Vey (Herts), who impressively took gold in her first 4 Nations event, as they beat the unlucky O'Driscoll and Katherine Last (Devon) 21-13, 21-15.

In the last final of the day, Robinson completed her hat-trick as she and fellow Notts partner Owen Kilburn took the wheelchair mixed doubles crown with a 21-16, 21-19 victory over Denny Vettom and Sharon Jones-Barnes.

Owen Kilburn (West Bridgford) won silver in men's wheelchair and gold in mixed wheelchair doubles.

The Nottingham Blazers meet weekly on Friday's 6-9pm for training sessions at the Ellis Guilford Sports Centre, Bar Lane, Nottingham.
