MONTGOMERYSHIRE enjoyed superb results at the North Wales Schools Badminton competition in Deeside last week.

Welshpool claimed third in the Year 7/8 boys competition with Newtown’s Year 9/10 girls also ending on the podium with a third place finish.

Llanfair Caereinion’s Year 7/8 girls side claimed joint third while Newtown’s Year 9/10 boys team finished just outside the podium places with a fourth place finish.

Sport Powys’ Katie Hamer said: “The teams played well against some tough competition and pinched some games off some of the winning teams.”
