Do the official badminton websites only publish results that suit them. You would think that when there are tournaments they would have the courtesy to publish all the results

e.g.. Northumberland u19 - no mention of the team event as England did not win. ( Even the individual events have the same English couple playing twice in the semis and then against themselves in the final)

e.g - no u19 Challengers results but all other age groups have been put on the web, perhaps because English players have not performed at these as was expected.(remember York and Wimbledon)

Aye ur right, results must have reached you by pigeon post to let you work that out.

It is a shame that the BAof E is not big enough to publish results when they do not suit them. Scotland did not ignore the fact that last year Simon Archer and Donna Kellog won the Scottish Open.

After all the slagging the Scots took for not winning challengers down south they came and won 5 titles from the first two events at u19 and were not mentioned.

We acknowledge that you have excellent players (and ten times our population) at least have the courtesy to publish results from your own tournaments without censorship.

P.S. Well done to Rita who has now beaten Julia Mann twice, Eliz Cann and Jill Pittard this season.
