Hannah Boden has won her first international singles title in badminton.

The 15-year-old from Brockholes won the Under 15 gold at the Glasgow International Youth Badminton Championships, beating players from 14 other countries.

Some of the best age-group Europeans were in the field, in addition to players from further afield such as India.

The Honley High School student defeated the Finnish Champion in the semi-finals before beating top Scottish girl, Lauren Middleton, in the final.

Middleton had knocked out the Danish No1 seed in her semi-final.

Earlier in the competition, Boden also won a bronze medal in the girls doubles, playing alongside Middleton and losing in the semi-finals to the eventual winners from Denmark.

It has been a successful few weeks for Boden as, the weekend before, Hannah and brother Piers played in the Shropshire Open Racketlon tournament in Shrewsbury.

Hannah won the Ladies Elite event and Piers made the semi-finals in the Men’s Elite event, where he lost to the eventual winner and No1 seed, World ranked No10 Duncan Stahl.

Hannah is hoping to make it three tournament wins in a row when she and Piers take part in the British Racketlon Championships in Surrey this weekend.

It will be difficult for both of them, however, and particularly Piers, now that they compete in the open age group Elite categories.

Racketlon is where competitors play a sequence of the four most popular racket sports – table tennis, badminton, squash and tennis.
