Has Anyone Won the English Domestic Treble?
The English domestic treble is a rare feat in badminton, where a team wins the national singles, doubles, and mixed doubles titles in the same season. Since the Badminton England National Championships was first held in 1899, only a handful of players have managed to achieve this prestigious honor.
The first player to win the English domestic treble was Betty Uber in 1925. She triumphed in the singles, doubles (with Hazel Hogarth), and mixed doubles (with George Alan Thomas) events. Since then, only five other players have joined the elite club:
- David E. Thornton: 1938 (singles, doubles with Kenneth R. Dieges, mixed doubles with Bettie Uber)
- Wilfred H. Kirby: 1941 (doubles with Thomas P. H. Goodman, mixed doubles with Betty Uber)
- Pamela Birch: 1953 (singles, women's doubles with Jenny G. H. Wingfield, mixed doubles with John A. Timperley)
- David Hunt: 1986 (doubles with Martin Dew, mixed doubles with Gillian Clark)
- Gail Emms: 1998 (singles, women's doubles with Julia Mann, mixed doubles with Nathan Robertson)
Winning the English domestic treble requires exceptional skill, versatility, and stamina, making it one of the most coveted achievements in English badminton.
