The South West Shuttlefest is a “kick-start” tournament which will be held in St. Mary’s CBS, Portlaoise, Co Laois in September. It is an partner rather than a team competition i.e. you enter with a partner in mixed and/or doubles and compete against other pairs in your grade. All are graded competitions from Grade 1 to Grade 6 with ladies, mens & mixed doubles competitions in each grade. All events are played as a round robin up to Semi-Final or Final stage.

Thanks to Yonex Ireland, we have genuine Yonex mats & court gear to make the venue extra special, and a shop set up for the weekend selling apparel & rackets as well as offering an on-site stringing service.

Entry fees are €15 per event and entry is open to all BI affiliated players. This is a very popular event and entries will be capped so early entry is essential. Last time around we had a total entry of 180+ players over 18 events from Grades 1-6.
