Club Update for October...

National Badminton Week happened from 16th - 24th October and we held two free open nights as part of the nationwide activities. Everyone who came in enjoyed some good badminton and light refreshments on both evenings.

On Thursday 28th October we had our first visit to the club by Will O Neill, Irish #10 Mens Singles player, for some coaching. Will put us through our paces and gave us some great tips on badminton basics such as footwork, positioning and offensive/defensive play.

Will is to join us again this Thursday 4th November and his training is available to any member of the club who wishes to join it. It is not only valuable to those participating in league competition but to any member who might like to learn a little more about the game we all love.

The Loughglynn Open was held on Sunday 31st October for Senior players and was a huge success for them with attendance from clubs in Roscommon, Mayo, Leitrim and Sligo. There were seven players attending from Boyle and we enjoyed a great evening of Doubles and Mixed competition. Well done to Jim, Paul and the gang in Loughglynn/Ballagadereen clubs for putting massive effort in to running the competition.
