COWAL Badminton Association rounded off its latest series of American tournaments with a closely contested final, as Stuart and Kathryn emerged victorious ahead of the return of league action.
The final tournament in the association’s popular turn-up-and-play series saw competitors battle through six rounds, with the top eight players progressing to the semi-finals.
After a competitive evening, Stuart and Kathryn secured the honours, defeating Lyndsay and Aidan in a closely fought final.
The tournament brought the opening weeks of the badminton season to a successful conclusion, with attention now turning to the return of league competition.
The association’s Boat League was due to get under way this week, with team captains contacting players to confirm their line-ups.
Anyone interested in joining the league as a reserve is encouraged to contact Cowal Badminton Association through its Facebook page.
Meanwhile, the association’s popular turn-up-and-play sessions will return to their regular Monday evening slot, running from 7pm to 9pm.
There has also been encouraging news from the junior section, which has enjoyed a particularly busy start to the season.
The Primary 4 to Primary 7 sessions have attracted a number of new faces, with interest proving so strong that the association has temporarily closed registration to additional members in this age group.
Organisers explained that the decision was necessary to ensure existing participants continue to enjoy plenty of playing time within the available space and session hours.
The association thanked families for their support and the enthusiastic response to its junior programme, which has now reached capacity.
With strong participation across both its junior and adult activities, Cowal Badminton Association is looking forward to another busy period as league competition gets under way.
