Badminton Club back in full swing

After a successful summer the onus on club and the committee was to start preparing for the new competitive season, writes Enda O'Neill of Kilcullen Badminton Club.

The selection committee of Lynsey, Sarah, Dave, John and Paddy were set the difficult task of selecting the teams. They started this process at the beginning of August and watched, debated (and debated again!) how players preformed. They assessed what grade and team that would suit the individual; they also had to assess how partnerships worked between players. This is by no means an easy task and finally on Thursday 18th September a decision was finally announced regarding grades and teams that would represent the club for the upcoming season.

The selection committee and KBC are proud to announce that we will be competing in the Dublin & District League and the South West league again this year. KBC will have 12 teams competing in Dublin & District League ranging from our highest level in the club ever, Division 2 right down to Division 10. Along with this KBC will also have 10 teams in the South West League competing in Grade 1 through to Grade 7.

The members of KBC would like to thank the selection committee on their hard work and for giving up their time willingly to complete this process. Hopefully they will see the rewards at the end of the season.

KBC would also like to announce that the Juvenile Club is now back in full swing and train in the complex every Saturday morning from 10am to 12pm. New members are of course welcome and if there are any willing parents out there who would like to give a helping hand it would be greatly appreciated. There might be even a cup of tea and a bun in it for you!! The Juvenile club provides excellent coaching from Gareth and is also great fun with competitions and leagues to compete in.

Finally I would just like to wish all the teams and their captains luck in the new season, I really look forward to giving your team news and results over the coming year.
