Badminton Irish Open
St Mary’s TY students once again were honoured to be
selected as line judges for the annual Badminton Irish Open. The prestigious
tournament is held every December in the Baldoyle Badminton Arena.
Transition Year students are trained up to be line judges
during November. This is an important job, which sees each participating
student work with the umpire and service judge in this Olympic ranking event. Upon completion of the tournament each student receives certification of their
training and participation in the tournament.
The event ran from the 2nd to 5th December and
featured players from all over the globe.
Both organising teachers and tournament officials praised
the students for once again providing a high standard of support during the
tournament.
Well done to all concerned!
