RACHEL HOWARD:
Rachel reached the semi finals of the Slovak Open, retiring at 19-19 in the second set. She had beaten the 2nd seed in her first round and was looking and feeling strong before she unfortunately had to retire. Rachel has recently heard that she will recieve continued funding from badminton england, despite the budgets cuts, it's great to see that Badminton England still have faith in Rachel above so many others (as do we!).
