Ecclesville hosts Tyrone Badminton Championships

THE annual Tyrone Open Badminton Championships took place last week in the Ecclesville Centre, Fintona, and was hosted by the Clogher Valley and Western District Badminton League.

There was a great turnout of local players and competitors also travelled from neighbouring counties to provide some very close matches and a few late nights.

The organisers would like to thank all those who took part.

"Their support of this tournament is very much appreciated and congratulations to all the prize winners," a spokesperson said.

"Thanks also to the committee members for taking entries, arranging the matches and ensuring the smooth running of the competition each night and for providing the very welcome refreshments."

The Clogher Valley and Western District Badminton League will be celebrating their 60th anniversary at the annual awards ceremony on Friday, May 2, at the Silverbirch Hotel.

"All players, past and present, will be very welcome as we celebrate this significant milestone," the spokesperson added.
