National Finals for Bedford School Badminton Team

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

It was a superb week for badminton at Bedford School last week. The team made up of Anthony Hung, Leon Zhu, Oliver Medley and Ashlesh Chandrapu produced an impressive clean sweep to win their tournament. In the group stages, they enjoyed emphatic wins over Debenham from Suffolk and Fakenham from Norfolk – 5-0 in both matches. In the final, they showed their talent yet again to defeat Richard Hale from Hertfordshire 5-0. There were many quality rallies but Bedford had the edge – three games went to 20-20, with no extended play, and Bedford won the final point on all three occasions. It was a truly dominant and skilful performance by the team. The team is now preparing for the National Finals at Milton Keynes National Badminton Centre on Saturday 28 April. They will be joined at the finals by Bedford Prep School’s U13 A-team, who won the U14 East Regional Badminton Tournament just days before.
