Last weekend the Under 11 and Under 13 Provincial Championships took place in Xàbia, with excellent results for the local athletes.
Competing throughout the season in the under 11 category were: Savannah Whitam, Aaron Burforn, Damián Gómez, Andreas Scotto, Vera Cerdá and Cleo Tradori.
After having played three matches in the ranking, on the last day Cleo Tradori consolidated the good work done during the season and became provincial champion, winning in a hard-fought match (15-13, 19-17) against her training partner Vera Cerdá, who obtained second position. In the doubles, Andreas Scotto went third together with Teulada’s teammate, Lucciano Chalbaud.
In the under 13 category the game system was different, because after playing four days as a ranking, only the six best in each mode competed for the title of Provincial Champions.
Throughout the season the colors of the Xàbia Badminton Schools have defended: Javier Torrijo, Santiago Signes, Aaron Burforn, Savannah Whitam, Júlia Badenes, Gerard Marzal and Pau Ibañez.
Júlia, Gerard and Pau qualified for the Provincial Championship, achieving magnificent results. However, Júlia played with solvency and took third place in both singles and doubles with her partner Laia Bañón, from Beneixama. For his part, Pau also achieved third place in the men’s singles, playing a great match against the future champion.
Great joy came from the hands of the men’s doubles. And Gerard and Pau had a perfect match beating Marc Climent and Ángel Mejías (El Campello) 21-15, 21-11, also second-placed Samir Arioua and Mauro Juan, of Onil, with a very tight 21 -19, 19 -21 and 21-17, which made the audience vibrate enough to beat, in the final, the top seeds Martín Cáceres and Carlos Martínez, of Ibi, 21-19 and 21-10, proclaiming themselves Provincial Champions.
Present at the awards ceremony were the sports councilor, Toni Molina, and the vice president of the Valencian Badminton Federation, Juan Antonio López.
