IW Junior Badminton Tournament 2011 Week 1
Saturday, 26th March saw the start of the Isle of Wight Badminton Association’s Junior Tournaments. The first of three weeks, held at Ryde Sports Centre, was kicked off in style with the Under 10’s and Under 14’s competition.
The Under 10 singles were played as a knockout competition, the boys was won by Sam Hambley, runner-up Aaron Scott-Roberts and the girls winner was Evie Afonso beating Clarice Johnson in the final. The boys and girls doubles were round robins with just three points separating the top two pairs in both competitions. The boys winners were Aaron Scott-Roberts and Jack Fellows, runners up Sam Hambley and Nicholas Early. The girls was won by Evie Afonso and Isabelle Honnor, runners up Clarice Johnson and Lily Obard. The mixed doubles was also a round robin and was won with maximum points by Sam Hambley and Isabelle Honnor, runners up were Aaron Scott-Roberts and Eleanor Treagus.
The Under 14’s boys singles final was tense from the beginning, Marcel Hueppe and Jacob Honnor were level pegging throughout, and it was looking too close to call the game as they reached 20 all. Jacob Honnor managed to clinch the final point though to win 21-20. The girls singles was won by Victoria Cave beating Lucy Baggott in the final. Jacob and Marcel joined together to take the boys doubles title with maximum points in the round robin competition, Lucas Afonso and Jordan Aspinall earned second place. The girls doubles was a best of three sets straight final. Victoria Cave and Anna Joyce beat Hannah Shorter and Lucy Baggott 15-6, 15-8 to win. The mixed doubles was a really tight competition with just three points separating the top three pairs. Marcel paired up with Anna to take the title narrowly from runners up Jacob and Lucy.
