PICTURED are the five Abergavenny badminton players (out of a team of 12)who represented Wales in the Celtic challenge in Lisburn Northern Ireland on the weekend.

Captain Tom Whiteman led the team to victory over Lothian (8-7), Ulster (9-6) and Leinster (12-3) to retain the title for the third successive year.

It was a wonderful achievement for the Abergavenny players who all won their games.
