FULL COLOURS | are awarded for the age groups up to U21. |
HALF COLOURS | are generally awarded for the age groups Under 16 and younger. In exceptional circumstances, for example in the case of older players who are new to the County squads, they may be awarded to Under 17s and older. |
The award of junior colours is made at the end of each season based on the following criteria:
- Playing for County teams over more than one season;
- Performing with some degree of merit in both County matches and, as representatives of Northumberland, in individual tournaments; and
- Showing serious commitment to County junior badminton, at County squads, practices, team matches and tournaments.
