BARNTOWN BADMINTON CLUB
Continued good luck to Barntown Badminton Club, who are currently taking part in the Co. Wexford Spring League. (Men’s and Mixed divisions 5 and 6) The lads are on top form having had success against Shelbourne, Clonard, Taghmon and Galbally. The lads fought hard and played well but were narrowly beaten by Monaseed last week in a tough, but exciting match. Thanks to all who turned out to support.
Well done also to Sinto John and Tigin Kolliyil, who participated in the FZ Forza Grade G Men’s Doubles Irish Nationals 2019/2020 pre-quarters in Marino Institute, Dublin. The lads did us proud.
