Listowel Senior Badminton Club


History

The people of Listowel have been playing badminton since 1908 and this fantastic sport is still going strong in the town 117 years later. In addition to this long history, our club is also home to one of the oldest badminton open tournaments in Ireland. First held in 1972 under the stewardship of Junior Griffin, Hilda O' Donnell and John Keane, the Listowel Open continues to draw players to Listowel from all around Ireland for a weekend of exciting badminton and also to attend our annual club social.
 
We have a very active club in Listowel, playing four nights a week at the various levels, much to the delight of our members! Club membership includes players from Grade C to H and all abilities are welcome, from beginners to advanced players. We also provide free coaching for beginners one night a week. 
 
Our club is very inclusive and caters for all our members, who can choose to play:
 
Recreationally - it is a great social outlet and keeps you physically active.

Competitively - on club teams with plenty of opportunities to travel the length and breadth of Kerry, Munster or the whole country to play in tournaments
  •  
  • And for those looking for something in-between social and competitive:
  •  
  • We hold regular club “fun tournaments”, giving members the chance of competitive action with fellow club members whilst keeping the emphasis on having fun! 
Playing badminton with us is all about staying active and being social - click on our Instagram & Facebook links below and discover for yourself all about our club activities, member achievements and the fun we have on and off the court.
 
We are always delighted to welcome new members, so come and join us, we'd be delighted to see you!
