In May Newport badminton club’s Men’s A Team picked up the Division two winners shield. A near perfect season, unbeaten against tough opposition from Oakdale A, Ponthir B, Abergavenny B and Caerleon.

Next year is going to be a big year for us in Division one, a season in which we hope to retain our place in the division and hopefully progress further up the table.

The team were unbeaten this season winning the division by 28 points.

On Friday 16th December we had our Christmas Party. Thirteen of us went Bowling at Bowlplex Cwmbran and a merry time was had by all!!

Newport Badminton Club are entering four teams into the Gwent Badminton Leagues this season ( 2 Mens teams, a mixed team and a ladies team). All will be playing to win as many matches as possible and win their respective divisions.

Our first cup match will take place in early November.

We are still open for new member applications to help us achieve our season goals.

With the fixtures meeting happening tomorrow, the new 2010-2011 Gwent Badminton Season is not far away.

Here at Newport Badminton Club we are pleased to be entering 2 Mens teams, 1 Ladies team and 1 Mixed team into theGwent Badminton leagues this year.

Our Mixed A team won the 2nd division last year, however after losing a few ladies over the summer break, we are unable to field a Mixed B team even though we have a wealth of men. Hopefully we will find a few more ladies during the year and return with B team next year. The Ladies team unfortunately came bottom of division 1 last year, but not through any lack of effort.

Our Mens A team once again came 2nd in division 2 beating the eventual division winners along the way and hope for better fortune this year. The Mens B team also came 2nd (in division 3) narrowly missing out on promotion due to some defeats early on in the season.

The cup competition was a little disappointing as we lost to Oakdale in the second round.
