National Finals for Bedford Prep School Badminton Team

Published by Bedford Prep School on Wednesday 21st of March 2018

It was a superb week for Badminton at Bedford Prep School last week. The U13 A-team made up of Josha Mital, Vedant Somal, Joshua Stewart and Max Pearson performed fantastically to win the U14 East Regional Badminton Tournament. In the group stages, the team enjoyed a 5-0 win against Parkside from Cambridgeshire and a 4-1 win over East Bergholt from Suffolk. Their group wins qualified them for a place in the final against Haberdashers Aske’s. In a very exciting encounter, where the lead swung in the balance, the boys managed to win three games to two to win the competition. It was a superb team effort from all the boys as they showed true grit, determination and skill. Their achievement is all the more impressive if you take into account that all the boys are a year young and will be able to compete in the same competition next year. The team is now in training for the National Finals at Milton Keynes National Badminton Centre on Sunday 29 April. They will be joined at the finals by Bedford School’s senior team, who also won their regional tournament last week.
