Ulster Open 2010 - October 9th 2010

With thanks to Patrick for the views of the palatial hall in Lisburn, needless to say with the outcomes of the matches and form of our players, there are no individual pictures to show!! Haha

First match, Ashleigh played Rebecca Getty, losing 22-10 in the third,  very very close match.

Then myself and Patrick took on Conor Hickland & Scott Burnside (No. 2 seeds) losing in emphatic form 7 & 14, we never relaxed for one rally, well I didn't anyway (7).

Definitely the word of the day was "Relax", not that it occurred, but it will!!

Onwards & Upwards! :-)

Congratulations to all winners, especially our coach Mark Topping, winning the Mixed event with Karen Bing, 2 out of 2 so far this year and claiming the silver medal in the Men's Doubles event with his brother Bruce, exceptional badminton.
