Castlebar Badminton Tournament

At Castlebar Badminton Club · Castlebar, Co. Mayo
Castlebar Badminton Club opens its September tournament to players of all competitive levels, with draws running for both singles and doubles. Entry is from €8, which makes this one of the more accessible local sport fixtures in the county. If you play badminton yourself, this is a good chance to test yourself against Mayo-level competition in a club setting that takes the game seriously without losing the social side. Supporters and first-timers curious about the sport are equally welcome at the hall.
The tournament runs singles and doubles competitions with places available across a range of ability levels, so neither beginners nor experienced club players need sit it out. Castlebar Badminton Club is a well-established Mayo club that trains throughout the week from its base at De La Salle Hall on Newport Road - the hall behind St. Gerald’s College. Court space is dedicated, the facility is used to hosting competitive play, and the club has a reputation for a friendly competitive atmosphere. Registration is required in advance, so do not leave it until the day. Refreshments are available at the venue, which helps make a September afternoon into more of an occasion than a quick match and go.
Castlebar is the county town of Mayo and sits at the junction of the N5 (Dublin - Westport) and the N60. It is roughly two hours by road from Dublin and 40 minutes from Galway.

Castlebar has a good town centre with cafes and pubs along the Mall and around the Green, worth exploring before or after your matches. There is more to see in Castlebar and across Co. Mayo.
