Tuesday 10th August - Badminton Event

Congrats to all the Irish Badminton Players who played this week! DCU was host, with 9 courts playing all day. Well done to Amanda Mullery who was drafted in and organsied the day for the players. There were many volunteers who helped do lines and scoring matches; there were loads of supporters for the Irish players who cheered them on from the spectators gallery. Some of our court officials also arrived to umpire on the day. Thanks to all that helped out.
