ONE of the Bolton Badminton League's most talented players has died at the age of 39.
Mark Brunnen had been ill for some time, and the funeral was being held today near his home in Billinge.
He played his local league badminton at the Atherton Badminton Club (ABC), where he forged a respected reputation. He was also a member of the Lancashire County squad, and notched up many successes for them over the years.
As a mark of respect, two fixtures involving his team-mates and friends have been cancelled tonight.
