JUNIOR badminton players from various regions across Victoria recently participated in the Beyond Bank Shepparton Juniors Classic, held May 24 at the Shepparton Sports Stadium. Organisers said the event was a tremendous success, featuring over 233 matches and attracting young players from Shepparton, Bendigo, Ballarat, Geelong, Gippsland and the Mornington Peninsula.
Beyond Bank Junior Classic is specifically aimed at nurturing young talent and is not open to players from metropolitan Melbourne or those who have been part of the Badminton Victoria state squad or representative teams. This ensures a fair competition focussed on regional players.
The kids from local clubs like Shepp Feathers and Shepparton Badminton Association performed exceptionally well, bringing home several medals across different categories.
On behalf of the Shepp Feathers Executive Committee, Anil Devassy (Joint Secretary) congratulated all the winners and participants and expressed sincere gratitude to Shepparton Badminton Association for their invaluable support and partnership.
