Senior Badminton: Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 8pm
Contact: Gay Greene
A successful season drew to a close with separate “At
homes” for both the Junior and Senior Clubs.
There is a lot of talent in the Junior Club which is being very ably
nurtured by Sandra Lambe and Susan Barry and this will insure that we have a
vibrant club in our new centre. Geoff
Barry has to build an extension to his home in order to house all the trophies
he won in the senior competitions. Thankfully
he wasn’t eligible for either the ladies singles or doubles!
The Men’s 1st team completed the double by winning
the 5A League final against Baldoyle at Whitehall on 13th May.
Geoff Barry, Johnny Wilson, Swapnil Gadkari and Gary Dowd are known as
the “mummies” because of all the bandages they have to put on before they
can even go on court! The team will
probably now be promoted next season which means a higher standard and a cardiac
ambulance on permanent stand by.
Unfortunately, most of the
parish badminton clubs in this area have closed in recent years.
This means there has to be a number of former players around who may like
an opportunity to take up the game again. Next
season you would be most welcome to join us here at St Paul’s.
Games are not overly competitive and the emphasis is very much on having
fun. Go up into the attic and locate
the racquet over the summer and come along, you would be most welcome
