Badminton Wycombe Performance star Dillon Chong has won a silver medal at the European Under 15 Badminton Championships held last week in Liévin, France. Dillon, who was only the 9th seed in the Boys Singles, battled his way to the final with some outstanding badminton, beating seeded players along the way. Playing his sixth match in 3 days, he finally ran out of steam in the final, losing to Romeo Malboul of Sweden. Lila Dundas and Jason Ou were also selected to represent England at this event. Lila got through to the third round of the Girls Singles while unseeded Jason played extremely well in the Boys Doubles to reach the quarter finals, losing to the second seeds.
There was additional recognition for Badminton Wycombe when 3 of their Senior Performance players were selected to play for England in the European Team Championships at the same venue. David Jones, Abigail Holden and Freya Patel-Redfearn made their debuts for England in the same event 2 years ago and have represented England ininternational events since then.
Excellent work from the coaching team at Wycombe Performance, George Bevan, Gary Fox and Daryl Jacobs, has led to this success.
