The U16 boys badminton team travelled to Exeter to represent Gloucestershire in a Regional Competition. The standard of badminton in the South West of England is very high.

Bredon's first game was against the school representing Devon, who went on to win the whole competition. Matt Hodson, playing an England player, had to work hard to get 2 points. The whole team scored a total of 42 points in the five games against this school.

The second game, against Cornwall’s school, went to a similar pattern but by the next game against Avon, Bredon had settled down and played better badminton to win 3-2.

This gave us a well deserved boost before playing the Wiltshire school in the play-off. Keeping Kames Dunn at No.1 and with Jake Davenport motivating the team, Bredon went on to win 4-1. This win put us, as Gloucestershire, fifth out of the seven counties in the South West of England.

A really good result!
