ABC have finished the season in fine form -- in spite of missing out on the Bolton Badminton League title.

They beat Bury A 11-7 to confirm their place as A Section runners up to Markland Hill A. And this week won the Jane Fletcher Memorial Cup final in a nailbiter against GMT A by just 19 points.

They did this with a handicap of scratch, one hand and giving GMT 150 points start.

Swinton's late season surge has paid off. They have taken the B Section championship, with Hawkshaw B joining them in A Section next season.

Forrest C have won the D Section championship with an emphatic 16-2 victory over Sharples C and GMT B and are also promoted following their 18-0 win over David Lloyd LC.

Forrest D are E Section champions, promoted with Deane B, and Park C have gained promotion from F Section with champions Markland Hill E.

Players of all standards are invited to Markland Hill BC's popular summer club which starts on Tuesday, April 22 at 7.30pm.
