BUCKLEBURY teams sealed two promotion spots as the Newbury Badminton League campaign draws to a close. Their A team in Mixed Division Three claimed their place with a 6-3 win over Kennet C with Olivia May and Andy McDonald, Sarah Lewing- ton and Alan Arnold and Cara Brims and John Holloway all winning twice, but all losing to Kennet’s unbeaten Durga Limba and Tom Hunt.

Shaw B also lost 6-3 to Newbury A, despite Lucy Burton and John Palmer remaining unbeaten. Badminton Bucks make a two-way grab for promotion
