Youngsters from Bassetlaw-based Elizabethan School are celebrating after they came second in the National Schools Badminton Championships held at Center Parcs.
The four boys – Sam Harrison, Luke Collingburn, Edward Thorpe and Matthew Curtis – went on to the Nationals after coming out on top in the Bassetlaw SSP Badminton Championships, which attracted 96 pupils from local secondary schools.
They then went on to win the Nottinghamshire County Championships and the East Midlands Championships before heading to the National Championships, where they were up against many older opponents and just missed out on the top prize.
