Presentation of Trophies |
Our trophies this year are being presented by Carol Salmon, of Haverhill Badminton Club. Carol is the player who has the most incredible reach and the most wicked cross court shot. Neither of which, any of us remember to cover when were playing against her on court! One of Therese's earliest memories of the Braintree League Tournament was watching Carol play in the ladies Singles Final. Sadly, Therese can't recall the year or whether Carol won the match!! |
