The Junior club has finished for the year as we are now into the summer and shall return in September. There is going to be a change in personnel in terms of how the junior club is managed but the coaching sessions will still run in the same format.

The summer club continues to run with solid numbers every week, we have had enough players for all 4 courts every week no issue, hopefully this continues to the end of August before the new season starts up again.

Team Results for last season;- The Mens A team after a poor start had finished strongly and finished 2^nd in the League and may be promoted to the top division. The Mens B had finished 7 out 8 in the division and that they had shown improvement towards the end of the season. The Doubles team had finished mid table with a rush of wins at the end of the season.

We are excited to confirm that the 2022/23 season is now back up and running and our regular Friday night senior sessions are running as usual… 7-10pm at CCS. Please get in contact via our Facebook page if you would like some more details.

Unfortunately our junior club has not yet been able to restart. We are working on how we can get it started again, and apologise for the delay. Please keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates.

Quizzes seem to be becoming all the rage throughout this lockdown period… and at Mereway we are no different 🙂

Join us in our virtual quizzes by following our Facebook page. We will post each time a quiz is scheduled and you will find details of how to access them from that page.

Stay safe,

Your Mereway Committee

Unfortunately, we are still unable to provide any information as to when we will be able to begin running our club nights again. We are going to have to wait for the Caroline Chisholm Sports Hall to open and as yet we have no idea when that will be.

We have been looking at the various Government and Badminton England (BE) pronouncements and seeing what we can glean from them, of which there has been a lot of speculation but little specific guidance.

As we are sure you can appreciate, there are still lots of unanswered questions at the moment but your Committee are checking out every pronouncement and we will certainly let you know as soon as things change.

Stay safe and please keep an eye out for further updates.

Dear all, due to the current advice from the government, regarding Covid-19, we have made the decision to postpone both the Junior and Senior Friday night club sessions until mid-April, when the situation will then be reviewed again.

This follows the postponement of the Northampton Badminton League matches and has been made with the safety of our members as the priority.

Stay safe and please keep an eye out for further updates.

Some close games which unfortunately had the team coming out on the wrong side of the result.

A fantastic recovery from Pawel and Chris after losing an end 28-26 to then comeback and with that game overall. A good performance from the youngsters who really forced the opposition to be on form. Debut from Matt J who stepped up and was able to hold his own against tough opposition.

First win for our mixed team last week in the return match against Duston. It was keenly contested with many of the matches being taken to three ends and very close scores.

All pairings showed great determination and played really well. A fantastic, well-deserved result that may save us from relegation!

Doubles vs Duston: 6-3

Men’s A vs Pyghtle: 4-5

Ladies vs Thrapston: 0-6

Mixed vs Kettering: 0-9

Mixed vs Towcester B: 0-9

Ladies vs Apollo: 5-1

Mixed vs Towcester B: 0-9

Ladies vs Market Harborough: 5-1

Doubles vs Towcester C: 3-6

Mixed vs Towcester A: 0-9

The reverse fixture of the first match of the season for the doubles team was met with fierce opposition. Despite all of the games being close we found ourselves on the wrong side of each and finished losing 9-0. Unlucky to those who played and hopefully a better result in the next match.

Our ladies team travelled up to Market Harborough last week for their match. The games were very close and everyone was playing well.

After all the games had been played the score was a draw, 3-3. Unfortunately, to settle the match, it came down to games, from which we lost 6-7.

It was a super close game and we are determined to shift the balance our way at the return match and get the win.

Well played team!
