Report & Results

This years
tournament had a revamped experimental format with the Under13's playing on two
days with an additional event of mixed doubles, and the Under11's having their
own separate event on the Sunday.
The under 13 event attracted
92 players form across the country including 13 from Nottinghamshire. In the
singles events only Joshua Gilmore managed to qualify from his group, losing in
the quarter-final. In the girls doubles Samantha Reynolds and her partner Sammi
Hutt from Lincolnshire reached the semi-final, losing to the eventual winners.
The new mixed event provided some of the best badminton of the weekend with
several matches going to three ends, Samantha Reynolds with Liver Crabbe (Herts)
reached the semi-final, and Thereza Oliver-Smith with Luke Hutchinson (Yorks)
reached the quarter-final.
The Under11 event saw 32 players entered
including 4 from Nottinghamshire, of which Dominic Smith and Jessica Tandy
reached the semi-finals or their respective singles events and Dominic &
Matthew Stacey lost in the final of the boys doubles.
The weekend was a
great success enjoyed by everyone who took part, and thanks went to everyone who
helped out especially the cafeteria staff, and John Wadsworth and Paul Robbins
who assisted in ensuring the matches went on court and everything ran smoothly.
