KS3 Girls Area Badminton Tournament

We took 12 girls from Year 7 and 8 to the annual KS3 Girls’ Area Badminton tournament where they competed in teams of 4 against a variety of other schools, playing a mixture of singles and doubles throughout the tournament. With a record number of schools and teams entered, the tournament was split into an A team tournament and a B/C tournament. Our A team went unbeaten in the group stages and faced The Willink School in the final – narrowly losing by 1 game after being 8-4 up! They therefore finished with a silver medal. Our B and C teams played some excellent badminton throughout the group stages with our B team progressing to the final, also against The Willink. We managed to get some revenge on them and ended up winning the B/C tournament. Well done to all girls involved – it was a fantastic event.
