The Active Schools P5–P7 East Lothian Primary Badminton Singles Championship made a fantastic return on Friday 28th November, bringing together 24 talented pupils from schools across East Lothian. The standard of play was outstanding, with every participant showcasing impressive skill and sportsmanship.
This event was organised by Active Schools in partnership with Badminton Scotland and local East Lothian badminton clubs.
