Nottingham Trip 12-14 April 07

Leinsters U/17 Nottingham Inter County team had a good start in the opening match of their group in Nottingham last weekend (12-15 April). The opening match against Oxfordshire, they had an 8-2 victory. Pat Marron and Amanda Mullery rallied the team again in the afternoon match and they beat Guernsey’s 10-0. David Tutty who travelled to the tournament carrying a slight injury had a re-occurrence of his injury and was receiving physio, but he was suffering. The last match of the opening day was against Leistershire who beat Leinster 8-2, this was very unfortunate as this now put Leinster in a difficult group for overall placing in the 42 Team Annual event.

On Good Friday, Ferghal Kearney organised a fabulous open tournament for various levels in our Baldoyle Badminton Centre. Over 160 competitors from many counties including Dublin, Meath, Louth, Kildare, Wicklow, Wexford, Offaly, Carlow, Laois and Tipperary all travelled to play in this inaugural Good Friday tournament sponsored by "Street & Park Equipment Co." who’s owner is Declan McGinn (Chairman L.B.B.U.I.). President of L.B.B.U.I. Breda Connolly was there also presenting some of the prizes.

Approximately 170 students were taking part and Badminton Ireland has to be complemented as matches more or less were kept on schedule.
