We welcomed a new team from the Wirral, ‘The Beacon’ who were able to participate on day one. We hope they take part again next year. Unfortunately, Halewood were unable to attend on day 2, which was a shame as they had accrued some good results on the first day. Both days ran very well with all competitors playing four matches. Ideally, we need 8 teams to make such an event possible using four courts. Due to three teams unable to attend day two it was possible to add an additional team from Wavertree to fill the gaps. They just managed to play out all events on the day and gain some valuable experience. May I thank Gillian Sowden for co-ordinating the Y8 competition on both days with the support of coaches, team managers and some parents. Our only complaint came from a few parents wanted to know why we did not provided them with a packed lunch and drinks during the event. Could all team managers brief their parents with what to expect for £3 next year. www.liverpoolbadminton.org.uk Liverpool & District Junior Badminton League 2011-12 L J B L Y10 Kirkby Ball Hall 10 - 1pm 8 courts for 3 hours.

For those that have had any dealing with this venue, will know we were doomed from the start. Due to a double booking with indoor football we started 1 hour late and were unable to continue after our booked hours. The days play ended with games unfinished. The first date available to play the outstanding games is Sunday 1st July, 1pm onwards at Holly Lodge Girls school. I will contact teams in June to arrange start times. It looks like the division will be closely fought between the leading teams. Thanks to the wealth of team managers, parents and coaches for supporting the event this year. Trophies will be awarded on the day to the winning Y10 team. www.liverpoolbadminton.org.uk Liverpool & District Junior Badminton League 2011-12 L J B L Y12 Day 1 Kirkby Ball Hall 1- 4pm Day 2 Liverpool College 12 – 3pm Y12 Day 1 1 2 3 4 5 Pts Y12 Day 1 1 2 3 4 5 Pts Div 1 Div 2 1.

On both competition days Sutton ‘B’ and Fords ‘B’ drew on games and the result was calculated on points 729 to 702. Congratulations to players from Fords ‘A’ and ‘B’ for winning their respective Y12 divisions. For many this will be the final season for playing in the Junior League we hope they move on to senior clubs and enjoy the sport for many years to come. Overall, the year has gone well but we have still sustained the loss of a few teams between the November and March period. If anyone has any suggestions how we could overcome this problem please let me know. We changed to this two day format many years ago to help reduce the amount of time and effort required to play home and away matches at our own venues. It also interfered with valuable weekly coaching time. On the accounts side the Junior league has cost £824.80 to organize with an income of £741. The shortfall of £83.80 was covered by the Junior tournament. We still need to include extra shuttle and venue costs for the re-arranged day 3.
