Notts star wins double gold

Nottingham Blazers players Bernadette O'Driscoll and Owen Kilburn competed in the Scottish leg of the Four Nations Disability Badminton Championships.

It was double gold for O'Driscoll at the Scotstoun International Sports Arena, Glasgow, firstly in the ladies singles class 1 final against Laura-Lee Jenkins (Ireland), which she won 21-9, 24-22.

Then she teamed up with mixed doubles partner David Follett to cause one of the surprises of the tournament, beating reigning mixed doubles champions Laura-Lee Jenkins and partner Gobi Ranganthan 21-18, 21-19.

Blazers' current men's double champion Kilburn and partner Ranganthan couldn't repeat last year's win in the men's doubles final losing 14-21, 21-16, 14-21 to David Follett and Rowan Crossman .

Blazers hope to take a full-strength squad to Manchester in April for the home leg.
