Badminton Eastland starts its Super Veterans North Island Division 3 campaign at home this weekend.

Eastland will host Bay of Plenty (2) and Hawke’s Bay at the Badminton Centre on Saturday.

Play starts at 9.30am, with Eastland up against BoP.

BoP face Hawke’s Bay in the next tie and Eastland play Hawke’s Bay at 1pm.

Eastland players have been battling illness so it will be a case of waiting and seeing who will be available.

The squad is Kevin Lee, of Gisborne Badminton Club, and Ron Prebble, Alan Ledger, Sheree Gray, Annabel Riwaka, Ruth Ledger, Ra Leach and Linda White (manager), from Patutahi.

Paul Koia and Darryl Miller, of Whakatāne, will join the team as loan players.

Koia has played for Eastland for the past two seasons and Miller has filled in previously.

The public is welcome to watch play at the Badminton Centre at 134 Roebuck Rd.
