The next tournament played was the Irish Junior Championships 2010 in Terenure on November 6th 2010, it was a short and sweet affair for some of us although Ashleigh showed us what she is capable of (Behave) by reaching the semis of the Singles.
Again, no photographic memories to lord over but the mental memories (scars :-) ) will remain!?
Myself and Paddy played Joshua Magee and Ciaran Chambers, we were at sixes and sevens in this match, I think I even swiped two full fresh-airs for the fun!! We ended up on the losing side 21-11, 21-16, lots of things to be taken from that match, mostly what not to do! Haha
Aoife and I then played Liam O'Leary & Clodagh Kent, losing the first 21-12 and throwing away he second 23-21 after having a 20-15 lead, by Jaysus that was frustrating?!
Aoife played with Clare Davidson losing to Clodagh Ken and Kathryn McGladder 21-14, 21-15.
Ashleigh got her winning weekend off to a start with Paddy in the mixed, winning their first match against Jonathon Ruddy & Clare Davidson 21-17, 21-14, a tough game, that needed a bit of slogging to get through :-)
Their next match was against Chris Martin & Crona Rooney in the Last 16 to which the unfortunately lost 21-10, 21-18, unlucky not to bring it to three.
Ashleigh's singles adventure started off with a win over Clare Davidson 21-13, 21-17 in the first round, moving well and playing a very strategic game in the process.
After that was a fabulous win over Crona Rooney 21-13, 12-21, 21-19, a War of Attrition indeed.
The semi-final was against Ciara Pender to which Ashleigh came up against a singles player playing exceptional badminton! Ashleigh was beaten 21-8, 21-14 in a very tight-found contest.
