I attended the Planacy English Open at the weekend, write up and podium places are available here .

As always the event was a great example of tournament organisation, everything ran to schedule and it was great to see such a high number of entries.  From a personal point of view 21 out of 32 in the B class was disappointing on paper.  Overall it was 2 wins and 2 defeats, the two defeats coming against regular A class competitors – but it did reinforce the need for my badminton in particular to be more consistent.  My two wins both came down to tennis, and it was nice to have the opportunity to play my strongest sport!

A couple of events remain on the UK tour this year although it is likely to be 2012 before my next tournament, a case now of getting back into the routine of regular training and getting fitness levels back up.

[UPDATE]: Forgot to mention, and thanks to Keith for reminding me, video of the event is available on the homepage of English Racketlon
