County finals were held last week. A big thanks to the organizers, Trudy and Michael. It takes a big effort to organise a competitive showcase event for Waterford badminton. It was unfortunate that absenteeism on the night meant players who had trained all year did not have the opportunity to play their finals and it is unfortunate for those players that this should happen, however Team Lismore went on to have a very successful night.

Colin Coleman and Tanya Morrissey won grade C mixed doubles. Colin Coleman and Tanya Morrissey won grade D mixed doubles. Paul Casey and Sheena Wilkinson won grade F mixed doubles. Tanya Morrissey won grade D ladies singles. Ber O’Keeffe won grade G ladies singles. Brendan Meghan won grade G men’s singles. Gary Alcorn was runner-up grade D men’s singles, while Jimmy Halcrow was runner-up in novice men’s singles.

Congratulations to all who participated.

Badminton will take place in the community centre on Monday and Wednesday nights 8pm till 10pm. Secondary school juveniles Monday at 7pm. All are welcome regardless of ability. As well as a good form of exercise and fitness badminton has a good social side.
