Mid Glamorgan Win Division 3 ICC


I seem to be forever apologising for late reports - and boy have I outdone myself this time. The clash against West Glam was - as expected - a great one, great atmosphere and great badminton, you coudln't ask for more, in the end Mid Glam came out on top with a great score of 13 - 2, cementing their place in division 2 next year.

So what's next for the team ? Well with more anticipation than a pair of pensioners eloping on viagra for the first time the draw has been made, next year will see a plethora of new combatants to the ring they call ICC 2 D.

Mid Glamorgan, (officially Wales highest rank county team now) will fly the flag for wales, with a number of big names confirmed for the season, Richard Vaughan is full behind the county team - his Badminton Academy can be reached here, - the opponents - in no particular order :-

  • Devon
  • Gurnsey
  • Jersey
  • Somerset
Yes you did hear correctly, both Gurnsey and Jersey will be in the affray for 2010 / 2011.

So what can we expect, pain, pure unadulterated pain from a fitter, faster, harder set of competitors each baying for Welsh blood, but know this, we will take the fight to these new lands with Division 1 in our sights !

As for the county - a number of initiatives are now under way for training and management for the new season. We can also expect a new shiny website, as I like to keep things updated as you know, and a big drive for funding which we will need all the help we can get with.

We will not be expecting players to fund their flights and accomodation therefore we all need to muck in and get some fundraising in place for the new season.

The pre-agm meeting will look to bring this and a number of other matters to light, it is therefore IMPERITIVE that you attend if you can this year.

I will add the date for the AGM shortly, until then, watch this space - more to follow - including new video interviews with players, coaches and WBU representitives, details of the Mid Glam Open, new training locations, 10 weeks boot camps to those who think they can take the pace and our new venue to follow !
