๐ Celtic Challenge Champions! ๐
A truly special weekend for the Munster/Connacht team as they made history, claiming gold for the very first time in the U16 Celtic Challenge!
Huge congratulations to club member Beth Buckley and Team Manager Julieanne Buckley. A very proud day for our club. โจ
The team secured fantastic wins over Ulster, Lothian and Leinster to lift the title.
Well done also to Coach Tony Crowley, Team Manager Julieanne Buckley, and the entire Munster/Connacht panel on an outstanding weekend of badminton.
These players had the great honour of meeting and playing in front of Catherine Connolly, President of Ireland, on Saturday morning in their opening match against Ulster, a moment they will never forget making this a momentous weekend all round!๐
A sincere thank you to Trudy and her team at Munster Badminton for hosting a superb weekend for the players and their families.
An incredible achievement. The future is bright! ๐
