09/08/2016 Whitehall Road Junior Badminton Club Open *Schedule Update*
Good morning all,

It's back!!!!

The 2nd Whitehall Road Junior Badminton Open tournament is on the weekend of the 27th and 28th of August 2016.

On Saturday the 27th of August the under 12 and under 16 tournament will be played. On Sunday the 28th of August the under 14 and under 18 tournament will be played.

This is a round robin tournament in the initial phases so that everyone who enters gets at least 2 matches, but more likely depending on entry three or four matches. Last year we were able to get a lot of round robin groups of five, so everyone got four matches.

In the knockout latter stages of the tournament, the scoring system will revert to the traditional best of three games to 21 points.

The tournament is an under 12, under 14, under 16 and under 18 tournament. We are following the Badminton Ireland rules on underage badminton which is essentially no change from last year.

Due to the round-robin format of the tournament, there will be no Mixed doubles played in this tournament.

Please forward this email to your network of any parents of players who you feel would be interested in playing.( remembering to include the attached word document below)

Entries can be made online on Tournament Software or by downloading an entry form Here.

Also, we will be up on Facebook again over the coming weeks. Check out Whitehall Road Junior Badminton Club Facebook page.

Many thanks for your support once again.

Leinster Badminton

The Leinster Branch of Badminton Ireland exists to promote and develop badminton throughout the province.

In addition to liaising with the county associations (Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly, Westmeath, Wexford and Wicklow) to assist in the development of the game, the branch schedules many events in the sporting calendar throughout the year, including graded opens, the Dublin and District league as well as the Leinster Mens Singles, Ladies Doubles & Mixed Doubles Ladders.

Leinster Branch operate and manage two Badminton facilities in Dublin, in essence the hubs for Badminton activity in the Province; Terenure Badminton Centre in Whitehall Road (Dublin 12) & Baldoyle Badminton Centre on the Grange Road in Baldoyle (Dublin 13). Many clubs are based out of the Whitehall Road and Baldoyle badminton centres, with a vast array of juvenile clubs contributing to a strong juvenile section in the province.

Leinster branch, in conjunction with Badminton Ireland aims to further develop the sport in the region, with the last couple of years seeing the development of the Hi Performance Centre in the Marino Institute of Education, the hosting of the Annual Coaching Conference in Dublin and the development of the Badminton Ireland Academy.
