West Hants Championships

The West Hants Championships (also West Hampshire Championships ) were open international championships in badminton in England . They were one of the most important international badminton tournaments in the early days of the sport since the first decade of the 20th century. They were held for the first time in 1908. With the spread of sport across all continents, the championship fights lost their international importance in the 1970s.
