2.7 St Albans Badminton League

Updated January 05

The St Albans Badminton League is a non-affiliated league of approximately 10 clubs whose venues are in a radius of 15 miles of St Albans.   The motivation behind the league seems to be associated with ensuring that all club members can play in matches as opposed to other leagues which tend to have a more serious side as one progresses up the divisions.  We have therefore ended up with a wide range of player skills.
