Robertson and Emms were in the England team that lost the bronze medal play-off match to the Germans in the European Championships in Geneva in April so they will be looking for revenge. The Tour will begin at the traditional starting venue of Portsmouth's Mountbatten Centre on Tuesday 23rd November. It will then move on to Hitchin-born Emms' own backyard with a match at Hertfordshire Sports Village in Hatfield. Match three will be at Birmingham Sports Centre, where there is a big fan base built around the NIA being the home of the Yonex All England Championships, before heading north to Wigan's Robin Park Sports Centre and finishing on Saturday 27th November at The Parks Sports Centre in North Shields. The Badminton Association of England events manager Darren Parks said: "This isn't just a great opportunity to see Gail and Nathan and the rest of our Olympic stars in action but a chance for fans to salute their achievements. "Don't forget, Tracey Hallam reached the quarter-finals in the singles and all the squad members more than matched their pre-Games targets." The match at Birmingham Sports Centre will start at 18:45 and tickets are available by calling 0121 707 1722. |
