Christmas 2016 Singles Tournament

On a cold and frosty December evening 23 players from Oxon, Berks, London, and of course Bucks, converged on the Badminton Centre for our annual Xmas Singles Tournament. The venue was closed that week between Xmas and New Year but Badminton Wycombe kindly opened the centre for us.
On the evening we welcomed several new players to our growing group. Those attending were -
Jason, Bob, Hari, Andy, Dominic, Colin B, Colin M, Giles, Tim, Riaz, Stuart, Colin U, Josh, Chris, Tom, Bruce, Kai, Will, Cheryl, Rohan, Mark T, Nick C and Toby.
In closely fought opening round-robins it was Tim, Bruce, Toby, Chris, Stuart, Jason, Nick and Hari who qualified for the quarter finals.
The results of these quarter final matches were Tim v Bruce 21-19, Toby v Chris 21-9, Jason v Stuart 21-18 and Hari v Nick 21-17.
In the semi - finals Tim had the better of Hari 15-13 and 15-7 and Jason overcame Toby, 15-7 and 15-8, despite losing to him in the opening round-robin. So, it was Tim and Jason who emerged to fight it out. These two have meet in previous finals but this time it was
victory for Jason 15-9 and 15-10.
Congratulations then to Jason, who received a Yonex sports shirt signed by Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge. Tim received a runner up prize of Belgium chocolates.
In the play off for 3rd and 4th place it was Toby who defeated Hari 21-17. Well done to Toby and also this was Hari's best performance to date in our tournaments. The quarter final play-offs saw Bruce topping the group, Bruce 49pts, Nick 43pts, Chris 35pts and Stuart 35pts.
The third place play offs went to Giles with 45pts
The fourth place play offs went to Tom with 45pts
And finally fifth place play offs went to Rohan with 60pts
Thank you all for your participation and sporting behaviour.
