Players from Whangārei Boys' High School and Kamo High School became badminton champions on Thursday at the Northland Secondary School Sport Association Years 9-10 team badminton competition.

More than 50 students from seven schools converged on Whangārei's Northland Badminton Centre for a day of good competition.

In the boys' division, Whangārei Boys' High School were too good for their opponents from Kamo High School. However, the Kamo girls were on the money, beating Otamatea High School in their final.

Northern Advocate photographer Tania Whyte went along to catch all the action.
