Presentation to Ian Day by Minister Sean Connick T.D.

The visit of the Glos«Stars squad from Gloucestershire was the highlight of last weekend’s badminton with the visitors taking on a Wexford Badminton Association Selection in Ramsgrange Community College.  To add to the occasion the visitors were greeted on Saturday morning by new Junior Minister Sean Connick T.D. & Wexford Badminton Association Chairman Nicholas Murphy.  The Glos«Stars team captain Chris Dickens introduced his team to Sean & Nicholas and then it was the turn of the home captain Frankie Morrissey.  As a memento of their first visit to Wexford the Glos«Stars manager Ian Day was presented with a beautiful painting of the three Irish tall ships by Sean Connick.

With the opening ceremonies over it was down to the serious business of the badminton matches with 34 games played on both Saturday & Sunday and while competition was fierce in many encounters the local side were the stronger team overall and chalked up impressive victories on both days.  

It was a much needed boost for the Wexford class 2 & 3 squads and the best possible preparation for the All Ireland finals this weekend in Galway.
