A National Badminton League fixture at Clifton College’s Chellaram Sports Complex attracted a league-record crowd of more than 300.
The Bristol Bullets took on the University of Nottingham, and came away with a dominant victory, scoring a maximum 175 points to 89.
With the first fixture setting the bar high, two more match nights are already lined up for March 27 and April 17. Organisers are expecting even bigger crowds next time.
Chris Watts, head of leisure services at the college, said: “It was a pleasure and a privilege for us to host Bristol Bullet’s opening fixture here in the Chellaram Sports Complex. We are always proud to showcase this fantastic facility especially on a night like this when we can pull out all of the stops and welcome new players, spectators and volunteers to Clifton College Sports Ground. We are excited to host further home fixtures in March and April and develop a longer term partnership with the Bristol Bullets.”
