Two Wirral League Officers received deserved recognition at the recent Cheshire County Badminton Association AGM.
David Spencer, our League Secretary was presented with the Marjorie Bryce-Smith Trophy. This is awarded to individuals who have provided outstanding service to the County and/or League, in the areas of playing ability, service to the game, sportsmanship, club loyalty and turnout. David is the 15th Wirral League player to receive the award in the last 20 years, which shows the tremendous contribution Wirral players have made to badminton in the County over the years.
Also at the AGM, Neil Cooper, our CCBA League rep and vice president, was awarded the Arthur Evans Memorial Trophy for outstanding service to Cheshire Badminton. Neil has taken on numerous roles for club, league and County over the last 40 years, and thoroughly deserves to receive such recognition.
Congratulations and "well done" to both David and Neil!
