Match report - Northamptonshire v Mid Glamorgn
Score 2 - 13 : match won by Mid Glamorgan
Another convincing win at our first away match with convincing debut performances from Michelle Smith and Simon Rowe.
Three cars rendeavoued at the Caldra Mac Donanalds just off Junction 24 and after some light refreshments - or to be accurate Mac Donalds breakfasts the journey began. Drivers were our very own chairman Mr Huw Wilson, Meirion Day and Andrew Woodland.
The mood was upbeat and team spirit was high, after having fun with the sat nav's Wilson showed off his superior driving skills to get us to the Wellingborough
Tesco where the team stocked up on food and drinks as Northamptonshire don't provide refreshemnts.

Mr Rowe made use of this break and popped into Electronics World to bad a 2gb card for his camera to ensure that action shots of the days events were available.
After leaving Tesco we arrived at the school early and took the opportunity to warm up before the other team arrived.
With the mood still good the home team arrived, they were a very pleasant bunch, I would say a relatively young team but then again as MS Walkley described me as a fossil everyone might be young to me. I can take consolation in being a Veteran in 8 years :)
Singles kicked off, Vikki Jones had finished her game before breaking a sweat, Kiri also ploughed through winning in two straight games.
The mens saw Andrew Woodland taking his game comfortably and the final score before the doubles was 3 - 1.
The doubles kicked off around 2pm, with Mid Glamorgan taking everything, our mens first team went to three but all other games were taken in two.
On the switcharound we again won everything this time all games were taken in two, another great round of badminton.
On the final leg a switcharound in the mixed saw Andrew and Helen and Roy and Nicole winning both games.
A final score as stated above of 13 - 2. A good day out and great badminton.
