Lisa Turner and George Beegoo were the respective women’s and men’s winners at Bicester Badminton Club’s closed tournament.

The event’s rules involve a mixed doubles pair playing against all the other pairs, both with and against their main partner.

There were eight pairs and the matches went on for nearly two hours with hardly time to draw breath.

At the end, all the points for each individual were added up, leaving Turner and Beegoo at the head of their respective standing.

Senior club member Terry MacDonald presented the winners with sports shop vouchers or wine.

RESULTS.

Ladies – winner: Lisa Turner, runner-up: Lucinda Ward. Junior ladies – winner: Hannah West. Men – winner: George Beegoo, runner-up: Jan Szandala. Junior men – winner: Matthew Tucker.

The club are hoping to recruit new members during the summer in preparation for the competitive season, starting in September.
