23.09.22 Doubles B played away against Frome A. It was always going to be a tough match, which was reflected in the 8-1 score line. Great work to pick up a point though! 28.09.22 Mixed A were home to Freshford and came out with an 8-1 win. Some very close games! Chippenham 23 has had a successful summer of badminton.

13 May: County league away vs Stratton Polska. The team travelled to New College in Swindon and made a big impact, winning the match 9-0. 24 May: The County league team were away again against Laverstock. Once again we shows our strength with an 8-1 win! There is still a County league match between Swindon and Stratton to be played, however it's result cannot affect the standings.
