SES division 4

First match for Div. 4

Owen and Connor played their first match for the Division 4 SES away at Stanchester. Close and competitive games all round, but the guys were unfortunate to be on the losing end. Plenty more opportunity to get revenge !

league & county competition

Mixed competition runner up

Warwick competed in the Hampshire Tier 4 tournament on Sunday 19th October at the Westgate Badminton Centre and finished runner up with his partner. Its a great result for them both as they've only been playing together for a couple of months. They managed to beat seeded pairs on route to the final. Well done.

Defeated the 3rd seeds in the group stage.

Won the quarter finals in 3 games.

Won the semi final against a Guernsey mixed pair with the second game being a very tight 26-24

SES competition gets underway

Mixed fortunes

The first evening of the SES season kicked off in Stanchester on Tuesday 7th October. DBC had two teams playing in Division 3. Brian and Simon as Dorchester 1 and Matt and Esme as Dorchester 3. Plenty of opportunity to improve results with the next two fixtures giving us home advantage as they will be played at St. Osmunds. Onwards and upwards.

League & county competition

Call up for Warwick

DBC is delighted to announce that one of its club members has been called up to play for the Dorset county team in the national county league. Its a fantastic achievement for Warwick and is a just reward for the amount of training and time he puts into badminton above and beyond training the juniors.

Well done Warwick and best of luck for the upcoming matches. DBC will be watching !

junior badminton

Going from strength to strength

In the summer of 2024, Warwick proposed a junior badminton session to be run the hour before the main club session, which would be for Year 7 kids upwards. The session involves a mixture of coaching and playing with the aim to give the kids a pathway to join the club as full members upon completing school.

12 months later and the junior sessions are very popular and well attended. The club has recently invited two of the kids to join the regular club evenings and they have played and competed with the old timers!

Congratulations go out to Warwick for all his hard work and perseverance while the club worked out the teething issues.

If you would like your child to participate in the sessions, please click the Junior booking link from the 'Join Us' menu at the top of this page.

new committee member

Say hello to Esme

We are delighted to welcome club member Esme to the committee as our ladies officer. Esme's focus is to develop ladies badminton at the club and to increase attendance.

She has some fantastic ideas and the club is starting a 3 month trial of ladies only events from October.

Esme's goals for the club are...

Provide a welcoming environment for new players

Improve ladies participation with a view to having members join the club full time.

Provide opportunities for people to play in a relaxed space without the competitive edge at the club evenings.
