Bob Heaton, Head Coach of Rochdale Junior Badminton Club said: “It’s fantastic to see such competitive players taking part in this annual tournament. Each year we get players from different clubs competing which adds both interest and excitement to the tournament. Without the help of our generous volunteers we wouldn't have been able to make this event possible.

“I’d personally like to thank the players, coaches, volunteers, parents and families for their time and passion in helping to make this event such a huge success.”
