In Year 8 four sets of pairs took part in the Herts and Middlesex League Badminton Tournament, competing against other pairs from Northwood College, Habs, NLCS, Queenswood and Watford Girls. All St Helen’s pairs finished in the top two in their groups progressing through to the quarter finals.

Sumaya, Yashvy and Saaniya and Kiera narrowly lost to strong opposition in the next round, whilst Edha and Esha came up against tough opponents from NLCS in their semi final.

Congratulations to Arianna and Raeya who put in an excellent display to win their semi final round and performed superbly in the final to beat the NLCS pair to be crowned champions! It was a terrific display by all the girls – well done!
