Description

CLOSING DATE: Monday 24th June 2024

In 2007 on the 10th anniversary of Ricky’s death we started the Sansom Memorial badminton tournament to honour Ricky’s life.

Over the years we have refined the tournament with the overall goal to give everyone the opportunity to play competitive badminton while having fun whatever their ability.

The day is divided into several mini-tournaments matching players to opponents with similar abilities regardless of age or gender.

The tournament is non-profit and proceeds go back into the south Somerset county badminton network to help create opportunities for all people wanting to play the game.

  1. The tournament is open to anyone.
  2. Players will be split into groups, depending on their ability and experience, not age or gender! Prizes/ trophies will be awarded to winners in each category/ grade.

  4. It is hoped to have groups for non-league players, league standard players, and county players if numbers permit.
