A Pivotal Sunday for Guingamp Badminton

Everything could change for Guingamp Badminton this Sunday as Romain Ethève and his team compete in the ranking day of the first departmental division. This stage, similar to play-offs, presents an opportunity to reach Regional 3.

The team faces the AL Badminton-club Briochin in the morning. According to captain Romain Ethève, If we win, we will be first or second and in theory, promoted to R3. Final validation from the departmental committee is pending, but appears likely.

Path to Promotion: A Two-Game Opportunity

While a morning victory secures a strong position, a defeat followed by a win in the afternoon match could also lead to promotion, though without certainty.

Club Growth and Rising Competition

This potential promotion comes as Guingamp Badminton experiences significant growth. The club has seen a substantial increase in membership, with approximately 145 licensees this year compared to just 80 three years ago.

Benjamin Clidi: The rise to R3 is the objective and we believe in it.

The number of teams competing has also risen dramatically, from one to nine, including four mixed teams, three men’s teams, and two women’s teams.

Enhanced Training and Development

Guingamp badistas now benefit from two weekly supervised training sessions led by Goulven Brigant and Constantin Demoy, alongside additional free training slots. This overall dynamic is contributing to the development of the club.
