Megan was also picked to play for England in the U17 6 Nations championships also to be held in France. Unfortunately, this event did not take place due to lockdown.

There were no more tournaments until June 2021 with few opportunities to train on court.

When tournaments were up and running again entry was restricted for the first few months which meant players could only enter singles and doubles or singles and mixed.

Megan and Lucy hope that 2022 is a year that sees badminton back to normal.
