A RECORD 130 visiting players from Jersey, England, Wales and Scotland will be competing at this weekend’s three-day Guernsey Open at the Rohais Hall.

And with a further 45 locals swelling numbers, it has been quite a feat to fit all the games into the time available.

This number of visiting players is 40 up on last year, which had been record-breaking itself and many of the entries are in the top 20 of the Badminton England rankings. There are also some current and ex internationals in the field.
