Saturday 5th April saw the inaugural, Chris Guesdon Perpetual Shield, being played.
This team competitiion brought about some very tough and close matches and it was only the difference of a few points, which decided any match.
In the end it was Jamie Maloney's team, aided by Richard Meagher and Dylan Moloney, which came through in the end and won this competition for the first time.
In joint 2nd place just 3-points off the winners were Sean Patrick Guerin's team of Cathal Ryan and Darragh Kennedy and Alan O Riordain's team of Colin O Riordain and Brian Hennessy.
This competition will be held every year and it is sure to grow and grow.
Chris Guesdon had a great interest in the Juvenile aspect of the game and approx. 10 years ago, it was his interest, drive and commitment that reinstated the juvenile side of the club.
Due to ill-health, he is unable to be involved at the moment but the club are committed to carrying on his work.
Many players who are winning competitions for the club today, such as Robert Ingram, would not have got the opportunity to play juvenile badminton but for the efforts of Chris. This is one reason we this competition is sure to receive huge interest in the years to come.
