Jess Played for England at Olve in Belgium

Jess Hopton represented England at Olve in belgium during the easter weekend. This was the first time Jess had played in europe and it was a fantastic experience.

There were 18 counteries represented at the tournament many of the other players could not speak English so disputed line calls proved to be a little tricky. Jess being an u12 in an u13 tournament got to the last 16 in the girls singles, Jess and her partner Craig Smith from Staffs also got to the semis in the mixed what a fantastic achievement.

The Badminton England team won the team challenge cup for the first time in several years.
