UPHILL Badminton Club B and E teams have been in North Somerset League action, while the Under-15 and Under-18 teams have had matches in the Avon Junior League.

The B team were at home to Frys A and lost by seven rubbers to two. The Uphill team consisted of Ellie Jewell, Brian Hadley, Denise Burton, Rob Morray, Kate Robinson and Andy Potts.

Only two rubbers went to three games namely the first mixed in which Ellie and Brian succumbed to Jane Guy and Pete Trevitt. Ellie then won both her ladies rubbers with support from Denise and Kate.

Kate, who is a junior, has been playing in the D team this season, so to win a rubber with Ellie in Division 1 was a great achievement. Other than for the first mixed and two ladies rubbers, the Frys players proved too strong.

The E team of Caroline Higgins, Billy Fear, Emily Walker, Sourish Ganapathe, Felicity Pritchard and Callum Grayson, were at home to top of the division Nailsea & Yatton B and lost 7-2.

This was a much closer game than the score indicates, with five of the rubbers going to three games and being closely contended. Nailsea & Yatton won four of these, two mixed, one ladies’ and one men’s. Sourish, with support from Billy and Callum won both his men’s rubbers.

The Under-18 team followed up their home win against Keynsham, with an away whitewash of Yate Rackateers.

The team of Billy Fear, Sourish Ganapathi, Callum Grayson and Harrison Whitehouse again proved too strong for their opposition. This time winning by 20-0 with the highest game score against them 15-10.

The Uphill Under-15 team of Will Bennett, James Jeremiah, Ryan Collins and Toby Norman, were away to Kingsdown and won 16-8. The

team all played well and the only player to win all his rubbers was

Uphill’s Will Bennett, who did so in straight games.
