Bedford Prep School Boy’s Badminton Success

Published by Bedford Prep School on Thursday 15th of November 2018

Alex Lamb (Y7) earned a place on the podium with a bronze medal in Reading at the U15 Silver Berkshire badminton tournament on Saturday 3 November. Alex Lamb had been busy with two more badminton tournaments earlier in the half term holiday. In Sheffield, at the U13 Gold tournament on 20 October, Alex reached the quarter-finals to secure a top 8 place in the Male Singles. Just days later, he repeated his success in the Finnish Youth U13 tournament in Helsinki with another quarter-final spot in what was a tough competition with entrants from eight countries. One week later, he won bronze at the U15 Silver Berkshire tournament in Reading. Alex lost the first set in his semi-final and won the second, so there was all to play for in the final set, which could not have been closer. He just missed out on a place in the final, losing this deciding set 14:15. As a result of his outstanding performances this year, Alex is currently ranked third in England in the under 13 age group.
