The Ipswich and District Badminton League Under 18 Championships took place at Northgate Sports Centre where Patricia Kou from the Meridians club was the star performer scooping a hat-trick of titles.
The first of Kou’s successes was the girls’ singles where she won all her matches in a round-robin event including a 21-5, 21-3 victory against Mathilda Barnard (Woodbridge) who finished as runner-up. Kou, partnered by Anna Keeble (YMCA) continued her winning run to lift the girls’ doubles trophy, with the Woodbridge pair of Barnard and Beth Scahill taking second place, and then completed her treble by taking the mixed doubles title with Andrew Sheat (Waterfront). In the mixed event Ellie Davis and Craig Newcombe (Stowmarket) halved their match 21-20, 11-21 with Kou and Sheat and this helped them to take the runners-up position.
Thomas Hunt (Stowmarket) and Blake Hoang (YMCA) won their respective groups to take their place in the boys’ singles final. Hunt eased into a 6-0 lead and retained the initiative to take the first game 21-13 but it was Hoang who came out on top in the second, 21-17. With a depth of clear, exceptionally strong for such a young player at this level of badminton, and good drop shot control, Hoang won the third game 21-17 to complete a singles double, having won the Under 15 event the previous week.
