Please note that Cairns 2nd have withdrawn from the 2nd Division of the Doubles League. All their fixtures are thus cancelled.

Well done to Govan Old 1st Doubles on winning the Jubilee Cup by beating Springfield Cambridge 7 – 2 in the Final last night (Friday 28th March) at the Sir Craig Reedie Centre. There were several close games, although Springfield Cambridge had only 2 couples, instead of the opposition’s 3.

There was also a collection for charity amounting to £5, although Govan Old 1st may make a donation later.

The final of the Jubilee Cup will be held at the Sir Craig Reedie Centre on Friday 28th March 2025, starting at 7.30pm, between Springfield Cambridge and Govan Old 1st Doubles. All welcome to attend.

Langside B C beat Springfield Cambridge in the Swan Trophy on Friday 21st March 2025, at the Sir Craig Reedie Centre by 6 games to 0 games. There were several close games, all of which Langside B C won.

There was also a collection for charity amounting to about £37.70. Thanks to all who contributed.

Well done Langside B C.

Some of you may have already seen the event on our Facebook page titled ‘Women’s Badminton Drop In Session’.

As I’m sure you’re aware, we (and so many leagues across the UK!) seem to have a lack of female players, and therefore had to previously stop the ladies divisions and instead create the level doubles divisions. We’re really keen to restart the ladies division in some form (we’re currently doing some research into what the best format may be and would welcome any insights!), and to increase women’s participation in badminton generally. 

So we’re holding a drop in session for any ladies in Glasgow interested in badminton! The idea is to meet other ladies interested in the sport, play some games, and to get some information about clubs, events and opportunities! The session will be 2 hours in the afternoon of Sunday 23rd June, time TBC a week before the event when courts are booked, and we’ll ask for a small contribution of £2 towards court, shuttle and admin costs.

This is also to give you all an opportunity to advertise your clubs, and to scout new players! I know not all clubs will be accepting new female players, so if you are and would like your club to be included on the information handouts given to the participants please let me know! 

Please do share this information with your clubs, and encourage any of your female members to attend so we can all get to know each other and encourage new members. And if you plan to attend to scout players for your club please let me know.

The event has only been live for 2 days and we already have 60 people interested so it looks like there should be a good turnout! And lots of opportunities to recruit new players!

You can stay up to date with any info about the event, and let me know if you are coming (and encourage your members to do the same!) so we know how many courts to book on the event page (https://www.facebook.com/share/m3R1rJWkVswHvgwg/?mibextid=9l3rBW) 

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. 

Hope to hear back from you about attendance and including your club on any promotional/ information material!

Many thanks
