Ulster Badminton Dinner Dance & Awards Evening!

Ulster Badminton Dinner Dance & Awards Evening 2026

What a fantastic evening at our new partner venue, the Balmoral Hotel, for the Ulster Badminton Dinner Dance & Awards Evening. The food was excellent, and it was great to see so many clubs and representatives from across the province come together to celebrate.

It was inspiring to recognise the outstanding work being carried out by our leagues, clubs, and individuals, all of whom continue to make a huge contribution to badminton across the province. The night provided a fantastic opportunity to celebrate their achievements.

Thank you to the East Ulster League, Ballinderry League, and Church of Ireland League for presenting their league winners on the evening.

Congratulations to all the winners of the Ulster Badminton Club, Coaching, and Volunteer Awards, sponsored by Forza. It was fantastic to recognise the exceptional dedication, commitment, and hard work of our clubs, coaches, and volunteers.
