Adult Bonanza Tournament

The inaugural Adult Summer Badminton Bonanza took place on Saturday 28th July ’07 in our Terenure Centre. “A Badminton Tournament in July”  was a great success with over 70 adults travelling from Cork, Wicklow, Kildare, Limerick, Dublin and even 2 competitors made the journey from Wimbledon  and France.

The tournament was played on a round robin basis with 13 different events played in 3 different divisions and also for the 1st time ever there was a social section with a young player Chloe Monaghan who only took up Badminton last Tuesday really enjoying the day!!

 

Clare Flood who ran the event on behalf of the LBBUI, states “Hopefully this event will be set into the LBBUI calendar in the coming years and with a possible another socialable tournament ran during the coming season”.

 

Thanks must go to the LBBUI, the volunteers on the day and to the Vice president Joe Buckley who was there at the prize giving. But a “Special Thanks” must go to Clare Flood and Sheila Smyth who ran the day in a very professional way with a theme of fun and great sportsmanship.

 

All competitors on the day were entered into a draw for 2 tickets to see “Damian Rice in Marley Park on the 25th  Aug ’07” which was sponsored by TV3 (Birgitta Morton) and the lucky winner was David Savage (Old School B.C.).
