West Wales Graded
2026
Haverfordwest Badminto Club was delighted to welcome players from across Wales for our 2026 Graded Tournament, held at Haverfordwest High School on Saturday 26th September.
It was a fantatic day of competitive badminton, with players taking to the courts across men's singles, women's singles, level doubles and mixed doubles.
The tournament brought together a great mix of experienced players and rising talent, creating a brilliant atmosphere throughout the day. With plenty of close matches, long rallies and competitive games, the standard of badminton was excellent and the event provided plenty of entertainment for players and spectators alike.
We were particularly pleased to see such a strong turnout, with the event continuing to grow and attract players to Pembrokeshire. The support from everyone attending helped create the friendly but competitive atmosphere that wa strive for at our Graded.
Congratulations to our winners

Winning a Graded tournament is a fantastic achievement, but every player who stepped onto court should be proud of their performance.
