A little about us

Founded in 2005, Kilmacthomas Badminton Club has grown from a small country club with a dozen members, to one of the largest badminton clubs in Munster. The club is based in the Rainbow Hall in Kilmacthomas. This season we have 7 teams competing in the Waterford Badminton Association mens' and ladies' leagues and nearly 90 juveniles playing on a weekly basis. When starting up the club we received valuable assistance from Badminton Ireland through Brenda Barry and Wayne Doyle. Waterford Sports Partnership then came on board to offer advice and to provide valuable funding to allow us to attend coach training sessions. Kilmacthomas Badminton Club hosts the Kiersey Cup every year.This is an open mixed doubles tournament which attracts a huge entry every year with players ranging from novice to grade 1's.

The club has a very strong social committee which arranges activities from friendly soccer matches against Dunmore Badminton Club, to annual trips to Birmingham to attend the All-England Badminton Championships. This year the first big event on the calendar is a murder mystery weekend in Cork in November. Off the court the club has enjoyed fantastic success in the Badminton Ireland Awards night held every year in Malahide. Last season we retained both our Club of the Year award and Young Volunteer of the Year award which had previously been won by Natalie Brown.Ml Brown also won Regional Volunteer of the year. Kilmacthomas Juvenile Badminton club has approximately 90 members who play on Wednesday and Friday nights. Most of these compete in the county championships and 18 represented their county last year in the Munster championships. Conor Brown and Stephen Walsh were successful at the Munster championships and went on to play for Munster in the interprovisional series. We also competed in the Community Games and provided players for St. Declan's Community College who won the u-14 boy's title in Gormanstown last March.
