2017 LBA Christmas Cup
—- by Alex Liu
For the 6th year in a row, the Christmas Cup has continued to be the most prestigious tournament in the London badminton community. With players from Windsor and Leamington, this year’s tournament had some of the stiffest competition in recent history. We are proud of all our players who battled their hardest on the court and showed true sportsmanship regardless of the outcome. It has been a great joy to see everyone having a good time and we hope to continue this tradition for many years to come.
The London Badminton Association would like to thank every volunteer organizer who donated their valuable time to make this event possible. They have put in countless hours behind the scene to ensure the tournament exceeded expectation and was without any major interruptions. We would like to acknowledge all of their hard work and promise to make next year’s Christmas Cup even better.
Finally, we would like to thank all participants for the fantastic turnout and the level of competition they brought to this year’s tournament. We sincerely wish everyone the best of luck in the up coming new year and to stay tuned for more events from the London Badminton Association.
P.S. If there are any changes that you would like to see in next year’s tournament, please send your feedbacks to register@londonbadminton.ca. We are more than happy to hear any feedbacks you guys may have.
