Chris’ successes at Badminton nationals

 

Chris Benzie had fantastic success at the Badminton Nationals during the first week of the school holidays in September. He won the U17 Boys Singles, Boys Doubles and came runner up with mixed doubles partner, Ashley. All the training and hard work (much of which had to be done via Zoom during lockdown instead of on court) has really paid off.

Chris and Ashley made the mixed doubles final at U19 Nationals and became runners up to the top seeds.  The match was  live streamed on Sky Sport Next, which can be viewed here.

Congratulations Chris!
