Rugby Youth Badminton Squad wrapped up the 2018 / 19 season with a series of round robin tournaments.
Harry Huang came out on top in the junior group but was challenged all the way by Aadi Sharma, just winning the decider by 11 points to 10. Shraya Mistry was only 12 points behind, winning 3 of her games. Only 4 points separated Jacob Owen, Amey Ganti and Nihal Singamsetty for the remaining positions.

Only 3 points separated the next two but Jonathan Tao edged into third place, winning one more game. Hollie Duckett and Ruby Slatcher played their part in some keenly fought contests.

Finlay was then challenged for second spot by Dylan Mistry with that deciding game ending 11 – 10 in favour of Finlay. The remaining places went to Jonty Callaway, Rees Moor and Rowan Vegad, just 6 points behind 3rd place.
