Kilcullen players in Badminton finals

Kilcullen Juvenile Badminton Club took 22 trophies at the recent Leinster Branch Badminton Union of Ireland (LLBUI) ‘Westside’ tournament held in Kilcullen Community Complex.

Nine clubs were represented from Leinster, with over 120 entries, providing a great weekend of badminton for players aged from 11 to 17 years.

Kilcullen Juvenile Club is thriving and with extra coaching provided by Sheila Smyth, league and tournament results are excellent this season. The club meets every Saturday at 10am. Call Rose on 087 2496254.

Special thanks must go to a dedicated and hard working committee who provided food and refreshments over two days of badminton. Thank you to our sponsor for the shop Ronan Murphy, and all the helpers - Rose, Sinead, Nora, Ger, Fiona, Trina, Pamela, Caroline, Bernadette and PJ Lydon.
