Badminton England thought no Badminton followers are interested in LiveScore . It's a pity that no statistics/data (LiveScore) are given via tournamentsoftware. Perhaps Badminton England thought no Badminton followers are interested to follow how the matches were progressing as they were played. But I am. .
Congrats to Chow MK/Lee MY for clinching the WD title by defeating their team mates. Sonia Cheah/Yang LL, 21-17,21-8. Chow/Lee's win was expected though, pity Yang LL couldnt clinch the bronze.
