Top-class badminton is in the Waikato over the next week with the region hosting the New Zealand Championships and the prestigious Wisden and Slazenger Cups.

Nearly all of the New Zealand Commonwealth Games team will be in action with bragging rights on offer for those who take the individual titles and then provincial rivalry comes to the fore with the Wisden and Slazenger competitions.
