Recent Mixed Doubles Success

The Mereway Badminton Club Northampton Mixed Doubles team have recently enjoyed success in back-to-back fixtures against Wellingborough Northampton Road ‘B’.

The first game was away on Monday 28 January. After five of the nine rubbers the match was balanced at 2-3 in favour of Mereway. Then the team went on to win three of the last four rubbers to establish a final result of 3-6 to Mereway.

The return fixture was played eleven days later at home. This time we won four of the first five rubbers with all three pairs winning their opening games against their opposite numbers, giving us a great start. The final result was a very comfortable 7-2 to Mereway.

These results mean that the mixed team is in a really strong position having won all of its matches so far this season, and having now played all the other teams in the division at least once promotion back to the 1st division is our target.
