Tesco vouchers!

Tesco School and Club Vouchers are being given out from the 1st March. We did really well out of it last year so I'd like to see if we can get even more this year.

The items we received have assisted in the coaching of both junior clubs and with the adults.

Every voucher really does count with us so please give your tesco vouchers to Kaz or Dom!

Thanks!

Busy weekend for RydeKings Juniors!

RydeKings Juniors v Freshwater Juniors - Friendly Match - 21/11/09

On Saturday Freshwater Juniors kindly came across to Ryde for a friendly match. In total there were 29 children playing in singles, doubles and mixed games. It was a brilliant afternoon which was very close right until the very end when a win for RK in the final game brought the overall result to a tie.

IOW Juniors v Hastings - Friendly Match - 22/11/09

The IOW Junior Squad including 5 RK players travelled to Hastings on Sunday. A special congratulations has to go to Evie, Yvie and Beth who played their first match for the Island. 58 games were played in 2 hours and the IOW won quite convincingly winning 38 of them.

Well done to all of the RK Juniors who played this weekend!!!

Mallett Cup First Round

With three teams entered into the Mallett Cup this year we thought we would stand a fair chance of doing quite well. This was scuppered slightly when the draw left RydeKings B playing RydeKings C and RydeKings A playing Whitecroft A.

Although it is a handicapped tournament these were always going to be tough games all round.

RydeKings A lost putting up a good fight against a strong Whitecroft team.

RydeKings C fought off the more experienced B Team to win 5-3 and so are hopes of doing well rest with them.

Congratulations to James Collingwood, Charlie Taylor and Jack Lyons who all played brilliantly for the C Team.

The 2nd round is RydeKings C v Newport C and is to be played on the 4th December at Ryde Sports Centre.

All supporters welcome!

RydeKings Back Up To 3 Teams!

After a great summer and a little effort to publicise our fantastic club we have finally managed to get back to full strength with three league teams. This is great news for the club as we now provide the opportunity to play league matches to so many more keen badminton players. Following the commited efforts of our two league sides last season we managed to gain promotion in both the 2nd and 3rd divisions. With our new 3rd team fitting nicely into the 3rd division, we now have a team in each of the Islands divisions; such an important achievment for an open club like ours.

Good luck to everyone playing league this season.

John Asher and Peggy Doherty 10/05/2009

This years John Asher men’s doubles and Peggy Doherty ladies’ doubles handicapped tournaments were hosted by RydeKings at Ryde Sports Centre. The tournaments were well supported with 10 men’s and 7 ladies pairs. The men’s games were played in two groups resulting in the first semi-final being an all RydeKings event with Group A winners Chris Massey and Iain Lawrie coming up against Group B runners up Steve Stevens and Clint Gardener. The second semi-final saw Group A runners-up Lewis Insley and George Utteridge face Melvyn Price and Anthony Boon. The Group A pairs struggled to overcome their large handicaps sending both Group B pairings through to the final. Clint and Steve took the final in two sets 21-15, 21-20.
The Peggy Doherty was played as a single round robin event, taking just over 5 ½ hours. Luck of the draw resulted in the last of the 21 games being the decider with Sandra Dye and Helen Foss, who had not lost a single set, playing Denise Insley and Karin Murrant who had only dropped 2 points. The latter won the first set 21-19, this put the two pairs equal on points for the day to make the final set ‘winner takes all’. Denise and Karin came out victorious winning 21-13.
Well done and thank you to all who entered, making the tournament so successful.

RydeKings were pleased to see an impressive home team turnout making up 11 of the 34 entrants.

End of Season round up 15/03/09

League
With only the first division still to play games, RydeKings can celebrate their performances in the second and third divisions. The teams placed 1st and 3rd respectively, giving one of the strongest club performances of the 2008/2009 season. Kudos goes to Newport badminton club for a putting up some real stiff competition for both our teams and also having a strong first division side. This is definately something we can aspire to in the coming years.

The IOWBA awards evening will be on May 16th, we hope to see a big RydeKings turnout so make space in your diary.
