Welcome to the new Ross Badminton Club website
We're a friendly club with about 40 regular players competing in the Hereford, Wyedean and Gloucester leagues. We train on Monday and Friday evenings from 7 - 10pm at John Kyrle High School on the edge of Ross-on-Wye.
Ross Mixed A win at home
Well done to the Ross Mixed A team who managed a 6-0 win against Tenbury Wells this week. It was a clean sweep of games, although Julie and David decided that they wanted to play for longer and went to three in their mixed! Just one match left……..!!!
Wyedean C v Cinderford B
We had a good match against Cinderford B last Friday, finally resulting in a 9-0 win. This means that we can’t be caught by the B team and have won the league. Andy L, Brenda, Caz and Penny played all the games, but sadly Mike and Boyce were both ‘struck down’ towards the end of the season, and were replaced by a combination of Alan, Alastair and Ryan. Many thanks to all those who played and congratulations to the team.

Wyedean C Team v Five Acres B
Monday night saw a slightly different C team – Alan standing in for Mike and Ryan standing in for Boyce – beat Five Acres B 9-0. Once again it wasn’t quite as easy as the scoreline suggests – some games went to 3 and the last game of the evening saw Brenda and Andy L winning their game 26-24 ! Well played team.
Ross BC and Ross Round Charity Sponsored Walk on Saturday 10th April
As part of the Ross Round Charity Walk, Ross BC are trying to get a group together in a sponsored walk to help raise money for local charities and our Club. 75% of all money raised will go to Ross BC. After the walk, club members are invited to meet up at a pub in Ross for a drink and lunch.
Boyce is also in the process of looking into ordering printed tops and training jackets for the Club. Hopefully these will be available before the walk, and will help in raising the profile of our Club.
If you would like further information or a sponsorship form, then please speak to either Boyce or Andy L. If you can”t make that date, then perhaps you would like to sponsor another club member who is joining the walk ?
Hereford Mixed A have been busy this week!
The Hereford Mixed A team had two away matches this last week, the first at Wye in Hereford and the second at Tenbury Wells. The score for both matches were identical, with Ross A winning 5-1. Ross won all the Ladies and Mixed games this week, but lost both Mens at Wye and Tenbury. Julie and Gina have put the men on a strict training program in preparation for our next match on the 12th!!

Hereford Mens A v Phoenix B
The Hereford Mens A lost 6-0 last night to Phoenix B. Although it sounds a bad scoreline, they played well as a team and some of the games were tight, particuarly that of Boyce and Jack, which ended 21-23 17-21. Richard and James also played well with James being awarded ‘Man of the Match’. If they take good points from the last two games, they are hoping to finish second in the league.
