Badminton update

In this week's article we concentrate on the Dublin and District League and Cups, writes Enda O'Neill, PRO of Kilcullen Badminton Club.

We start with the DDL games where KBC had some mixed fortune and out first was the Division 2 Mix 1 team captained by Dave Mc Clean. The lads and ladies travelled to Kilmessan in this league match and came away with a fantastic 4-2 win. Another great win for Dave, Lynsey, Norrie and Gareth.

Helen's Ladies 3 had no luck this week in both their DD League and Cup matches, their first outing was an away match to ESB on Tuesday 16 December where the girls had no luck and were beaten 4-0. In the cup match on Thursday 18 December the ladies 3 travelled to Rathfarnham for the Quarter Finals of the Division 5 cup and again lady luck failed to smile on them in this away fixture. Helen and the girls were beaten 5-1 in a hard match. Hard luck to Helen, Chelsey, Nicole and Sarah who Im sure will pick themselves up in the next match.

KBC’s Mixed 2 Division 2 team captained by Sinead who had a great start to their week when they hosted Boyne on Tuesday 16 December. Sinead, Murt, Rachel and Dave J beat their opponents comprehensivley 5-1. Thursday 18 December Sinead and her gang visited Ailsberry and unfortunately could not build on their great win earlier in the week crashing out of the cup with a 4-1 defeat. Hard luck to Sinead and her Mixed 2 team.

In the final match we cover this week, Caroline's Mixed 3 team travelled to Whitehall Road to play Old School in this DDL Division 3 Clash. Caroline's team have had a great start to the league and continued their march to the league finals with a fantastic 5-1 win. This win puts Mixed 3 top of the table, well done Caroline, Annette, Niall and Martin on a great win.
