A night watching National Badminton League live streaming

A slick TV product from Badminton England and lasting less than three hours was just the ticket.

So to a Tuesday night and some live franchise badminton on YouTube. With five matches coming in at under three hours, coupled with a fantastic venue for badminton and a very slick TV product, it was a thoroughly entertaining evening.

As an ‘every point matters’ clash, this was as exciting as you could get, with the tie going to the final men’s singles and Saxons prevailing 139-133 over Manchester Hive.

There was a Saxon dressed in clothing ready for battle and a voice akin to Brian Blessed, who rallied the crowd throughout the five ties.

Were they vuvuzelas or horns? No matter. It created a lively buzz all evening and the hope now is that Saxons can pack out the remaining two fixtures and build longevity.
