Badminton update
This week, three of Kilcullen's teams managed to make it to the Dublin and District Cup Finals which are due to be played in Whitehall Road on Saturday 7 February, writes Enda O'Neill, PRO of Kilcullen Badminton Club.
The semi finals were played in Whitehall Road on Saturday 24 January and first up were KBC's Division 2 team captained by Dave Mc Clean. This match went to the wire with Dave and Norrie clinching it in the final set in the final game of the match beating the Old Bawn mix pairing 21-19 in the final set. Well done to Norrie, Lynsey, Gareth and Dave in a great semi final win.
Also playing in semis on Saturday night were Nicole's Division 9 Mix Team, this game was closed out in the eight game with an excellent mix performance by Maeve and Olivier. Well done to Nicole, Maeve, Kasi and Olivier on a great match.
Also competing in the DD Cup finals are Sinead and her Division 3 Ladies Team who comprehensively beat Old School 3-0 in a fairly one sided affair on Sunday 25 January. A great result and well done to captain Sinead, Norrie, Lynsey and Rachel.
In the DDL John's Division 5 Mens team hosted PSLC in their second match in the league and the lads hoped to put their league back on track after loosing 3-1 to Lucan earlier in the week. The men were two up after the first two games but lost the third game and agonisingly lost the fourth game in the last set 22-20, giving PLSC an away draw. The lads are still in a good position in second place with two games in hand.
Caroline's Mix 3 team were away to Ailsbury in their Division 3 clash. This tough encounter ended up a three all draw with Kilcullen coming back from being 3-1 down. Caroline and the team are third in the league table and in a strong position with two games in hand on table toppers An Caislain Nua.
Sarah's Division 6 Mix team were in action away on Monday 26 Jan against Knocklyon. It was another good night for the KBC outfit and they came away with a 6-2 win. This puts Sarah and the team top of the table with an impressive two wins out of two. Sarah's team will also compete in the South West Grade 4 semi finals on February 3rd.
Finally best of luck to all our teams competing in the Cup Finals next month.
