Uphill Badminton Club took on Avon development squad on the second of a men’s summer friendly double header

This was a five-a-side match totalling 20 games and the Uphill team of Paul Edwards, Matt Cole, Mark Edwards Callum Grayson and Billy Fear all took the chance to get in some pre-season preparation.

Against a strong and youthful Avon five, the match was nip and tuck all night, with Uphill taking an early 5-3 lead.

Avon clawed it back to 6-6, with Uphill going behind 7-9 into the last round of games, before Uphill took three of the last four to secure a 10-10 draw.

The match could barely have been closer with only four of the 20 games scores having a score underneath 17 and five of the 20 being set about 21.

The team’s win statistics on the night were as follows: Mark (5), Paul (4), Billy (4), Matt (4), Callum 3.

Thanks again to Will Mellersh for sending some new blood down for the Uphill experience.
