I have finally recovered from an amazing weekend!

Here is a rundown of the winners from each event. Once again, this was a very well-attended tournament that ran smoothly throughout the weekend. On the whole, player conduct was outstanding, and there were so many bright spots across all events. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who participated and accommodated my terrible pronunciation over the microphone!

Firstly, congratulations to the finalists and winners from Saturday's events:
🏆 Men's Bronze Singles
🥇 Muhammad Mustafa Zaib
🥈 Samuel Street [3]
🏆 Women's Bronze Singles
🥇 Alex Chan-Taylor
🥈 Malavika Shivakumar
🏆 Men's Copper Singles
🥇 Tharun Siddharth Shyam
🥈 Ali Tanveer
🏆 Bronze Mixed Doubles
🥇 Rajdeep Reddy Katamreddy [4] & Malavika Shivakumar
🥈 Naithan McNeil [3] & Rebecca Bissett
It was a truly amazing day of badminton. We came incredibly close to breaking the match-play record from our very first Bonanza event, narrowly missing out by just 12 games!

Sunday doubles day.

We increased the scoring format to 3 x 21, although it would have helped if I had remembered I'd also included quarter-finals when planning around the old 3 x 15 format! Safe to say it was a value-for-money day for the players.
Once again, the standard of play was fantastic, and it was a pleasure to watch so many great matches unfold.
Congratulations to the finalists and winners of Sunday's events:
🏆 Men's Bronze Doubles
🥇 Bishan Gurung & Angus Macleod
🥈 Ian King [3] & Joshua Lowe
🏆 Men's Copper Doubles
🥇 Muhammad Ahsan Amjad & Tharun Siddharth Shyam
🥈 Vivek Arora & Ziad Karamat
🏆 Women's Bronze Doubles
🥇 Rebecca Dobbin [1] & Fiona Simpson
🥈 Rebecca Bissett [2] & Carla-Louise Mackenzie
We absolutely love running these events and are already looking forward to seeing this season's Copper winners and finalists stepping up into our Bronze tournaments next season.
Going forward, all our tournaments will be run in the popular Bonanza format. We also have something very special coming up in September, the first ever Scottish Triple in Ayrshire, where players from across all levels will get the chance to battle it out over an incredible weekend of badminton.
