I qualified for the Under 15 and Under 17 boys doubles at the Welsh National Satellite Badminton Finals but was a bit disappointed not to qualify for the singles due to points I lost early in the season. In the U15 doubles I played with Rhys Mallows and Gethin Long in the U17's. In the U15 we won all our matches. The Final was against North Wales' number one seeds, Saksham Bansal and Liam McGivern, we won in straight sets, 15/11, 15/7. Unfortunately as the badminton  tournament was running late, I had to go straight from playing U15 to U17 immediately and constantly without a break. It was a bit shattering but a great experience as I kept on adapting with playing with a different partner. Unfortunately we messed up our second game in the U17's as at one point we were 19/14 ahead, then losing 21/19. This meant we came in 3rd place overall.  :(

Better luck next time
