April Team of the Month TU Dublin Badminton Team

TU DUBLIN Badminton team have scooped The Echo Team of the Month Award for April after securing their very first Intervarsities title following a superb campaign that culminated in a 5-0 victory over NUIG in the final in Galway last month.

Captained by Templeogue’s Kate Frost, the 11-strong team comprised of Tallaght students Leah Auld, Caoimhe McKeown, Sirirung Sriyotha, David Walsh, Muhammad Zeshan and Frost, together with City Campus players, Conor Bradley, Ben Power, David Barton and Philip Britton and Blanchardstown campus student, Leonie Ward.

The squad made a blistering start in Group Three, serving up 8-0 victories against both GMIT and MTU before seeing off Maynooth University and UL in the last eight and semis respectively.

Facing NUIG in the decider, Frost and Auld recorded a victory over Molly Davies and Sarah Pingree in the first ladies doubles with Walsh and Bradley following suit in the men’s equivalent.

The second series of doubles saw Barton & Power and Ward & McKeown deliver more wins to double the team’s lead with the title then secured after Frost and Walsh surmounted the pairing of Callum Thomas and Molly Davies.
