Please see attached News Bulletin from Badminton England confirming that the "traditional" scoring system is now no longer in the official Laws of Badminton, as sanctioned by the IBF. As you will see from the article, this change received wide ranging support from the international badminton community, including Badminton England. As a league we had the foresight to adopt the new rally points system 2 years ago and so this change in the Laws will have no impact on us. It will be interesting to see how other Leagues in the County, who have not changed yet, cope! To see the bulletin on-line click here.
The 2010 Knock Out Cup Finals were held at Birkenhead School on Saturday 24th April 2010. It was another great nights' badminton and congratulations to all the finalists. The event was well attended with supporters from all clubs adding to the electric atmosphere!
Capenhurst Vauxhall won the Birkenhead Cup, with Barnston "B" as unlucky runners-up. The closest match of the evening was in the Hoylake Cup, with St Andrews Peninsula, despite being a lady down, winning the final mixed doubles by one point, to win the match 10-8, against a spirited Barnston team. Rock Ferry won the Wallasey Cup against a hard working St Andrews Meols team.
In making the presentations, Ivor Thomas, the League Chairman gave thanks to David Spencer for organising the competition, to George Williams for arranging the trophies and medals, to the handicap committee for their careful deliberation over the course of the season, and finally to the players taking part for their enthusiasm and sportsmanship.
