This season's edition of this competition, sponsored by Camray Co. Ltd, has now drawn to its close.

It was made up of separate Singles and Doubles categories, with five divisions in each category. The several fixtures were regularly played throughout the season, on Wednesday evenings at the Cottonera Sports Complex.

Each fixture was made up of only two sets, thus creating the possibility of a drawn result. This variation from standard Badminton practice made the competition even more exciting as some established players unexpectedly lost valuable points against apparently inferior opposition.

The first division title was retained by defending champion Boris Lalov (Msida Arrows BC), who finished his commitments unbeaten with the maximum 18 points from the nine fixtures played.

Kenneth Vella (Pawla Wolves BC) took the runner-up berth, seven points adrift of the winner. His match curriculum shows five wins, one draw and three losses.

The second division title was won by Patrick Cassar (Pawla Wolves) who similarly retained his unbeaten status with four wins and two draws from the six matches played.

Samuel Cali (B'Kara BC) followed him in second place, with seven points.

The final placings in the third division table show a tie between Albert Bezzina (B'Kara) and Godwin Grech (Pawla Wolves), who both ended their nine-match spree with 15 points.

However, the competition regulations envisage that the result of the direct encounter between the two players will determine the title winner; hence, Bezzina was awarded the title while Grech took the runner-up spot.

Charles Cassar (Pawla Wolves) won the fourth division title, having garnered the maximum 14 points from the seven matches played, thus remaining unbeaten. Stephen Serracino Inglott (Msida Arrows) placed second, three points behind the title winner.

Dominique Francica (Pawla Wolves) remained similarly undefeated in the fifth division, topping the table with 17 points from eight wins and a draw at the end of the nine matches played.

Cheryl Dimech (B'Kara) was second, just a single point behind Francica; she was similarly unbeaten, having collated seven wins and two draws.

Badminton Malta expressed its satisfaction at the high standard of play shown by all the participants throughout this competition. It also paid tribute to Camray Co Ltd, whose valuable financial support made this event possible.
