4-3-23 Following a 5-4 win against Castleford B on Thursday night, which lifted our B team from the bottom of the division 3 table, they won the division 2/3 handicap semi final against Minsthorpe A last night. They play Honeywell A in the final on Sunday at Garforth Badminton Centre at 10am, supporters welcome. All this follows a narrow defeat against Pontefract C on Tuesday, a very busy week but well worth it.

12-11-22 Not quite the result that we were hoping for but still a great match between our B team and Wrenthorpe B. In the end Wrenthorpe won 5-4 but there were some really close 3 enders and on another day the result could have swung our way.

10-10-22 5-4 to Pontefract C, not the result we hoped for but some really close games and great performances. Our ladies did particularly well by winning all of their 3 sets. It was nice to see Lilly, one of our junior members, make a successful debut and the return of Andrew from long term injury.
