Scotland Learning Disability Sport National Summer Games Round Up
Learning disabled badminton players strike gold, silver and bronze LD badminton players enjoyed a full day of competition at the inaugural Scotland Learning Disability Sport National Summer Games held at Stirling University 22-23 July 2023.
Badminton was part of a multi-sports weekend. Players from Dumfries & Galloway, Lothian and West of Scotland made up the 33 that competed in singles, level doubles and mixed doubles badminton events.
Many of the matches went into, nail biting, third games. None more so than Mixed Doubles Division 1, in which every match went to 3 games, entertaining the 50-60 spectators and 36 volunteers, including 12 Stirling Police Cadets, coaches, court officials and assistants, and the event Admin Team, right up to the end of play. I cannot thank the SLDS organisers and volunteers enough, without whom the event would not have taken place.
Finally, congratulations to all the players who were aptly presented with their medals by CEO Badminton Scotland, Keith Russell and Assistant Chief Constable, Gary Ritchie.
