It was the hottest day of the year but this didn't prevent 10 players competing in this month's singles tournament.
Once again we saw Alistair and Jason battle it out in the final - is there anyone willing to try and stop them, who hasn't entered recently?  Alistair won 21-8, 21-16.

On Saturday, June 20, 32 members of Badminton Wycombe descended to battle it out to determine who was going to be the winner of the first Badminton Wycombe Annual Singles Tournament.

After the dust had settled and many feathers had been shed, Daryl Jacobs was victorious in the main draw and Jamie Chan won the plate competition.

This month's tournament saw a repeat of the May finals with Alistair Jones and Jason Quarry battling it out.  Honours went again to Alistair coming through at 21-17 and 21-18; however, it should be noted that Jason is closing the gap.  So well done to those two.

Entries are now being accepted for Summer League, the fun but competitive handicapped competition run at Badminton Wycombe.

Enter your teams before the closing deadline of Friday, May 8.

The Easter Singles Tournament was "quite an intense evening" with over 50 games played, according to organiser Colin Beckley!

New players welcomed to the tournament were Kaushik, Matt and Sean, who all played admirably.  Special mention goes to Matt, who progressed to the quarter finals from a tight group - well done to him.

The climax of the evening was obviously the grand final between Alistair and Julien.  At first it looked as Alistair might take the honours, leading all the way in the first game but faltering at the very last hurdle to lose 21-20.  In the second game however it was all Julien, Alistair wilted probably due to an earlier tough semi-final with Tim and lack of match practice.  Julien took the second game and the tournament 21-13.
 
So it is congratulations to Julien, not losing a game all evening and now third time champion! 
 
It was another French victory in the Consolation Cup, with Aurelia winning all three games
convincingly, so well done to her too.

Badminton Wycombe was this year's venue for the AoC Sport National Badminton Finals - Aoc Sport is the leading organisation for college sport and physical activity.  The matches were passionately contested and everyone was impressed with the professional quality of the badminton facilities that we are able to offer.

Exeter College took on Cirenceter College in the Cup Final, with Exeter winning 6-4 having taken the ladies singles, and both the mixed doubles.

In the Plate competition Havant College dominated in a 9-1 victory over New College Pontefract.  C. Fearnley took the sole rubber against Havant in a fiercely contested men's singles (21-17, 21-18).
