Close matches and late nights as players battle for honours

THE Tyrone Open Badminton Championships took place last week in the Ecclesville Centre, Fintona.

The organisers, Clogher Valley and Western District Badminton League, were delighted by the great turn out of players from Tyrone and neighbouring counties.

There were some very close matches and a few late nights for competitors and their supporters.

The organisers would like to thank all those who took part, their support is much appreciated and well done to all the prize winners! Thanks also to the Committee members who took the entries, arranged the matches and ensured the smooth running of the tournament each night and also provided very welcome refreshments.
