Smashers go to Lisburn

24 P7 and Year 8 players hosted Alpha badminton club for a match at Coleraine Leisure Centre on 10th December 2011 Last Saturday (14/1/12) 21 players travelled to Lisburn for the return match. Following the match the children enjoyed a McDonalds. Thanks to Alison Park for driving the mini bus and to Coleraine & District Badminton Association for sponsoring the bus.

Both matches were fairly even with Smashers dominating the girls' games and Alpha the boys'. All the children gained from the experience of playing against different opposition.
