Last week saw nearly all of Weston Open Badminton Club’s teams in action.
The highlight of the week was an internal battle with Birnbeck Insurance taking on Laurago’s. Neither side were able to field full strength sides, however the replacements came in and did a sterling job.
Sally Hockin in her debut for Laurago’s won two out of three games and Slawomir Trybus for Birnbeck Insurance went one better by obtaining a clean sweep.
In a hotly-contested encounter, the final score ended up 6-3 to Laurago’s which moves both teams forward in their league positions.
