GB Padel Team has a new captain…

Congratulations Ben!

BJP’s newest addition to the team, Ben Gudzelak, has been asked to captain another team, the Men’s Senior GB Padel Team at the World Championships held this year in La Nucia from 15th - 21st April. 

 It is a real honour for Ben to be asked to fulfill this role, which he has been asked to carry out with his friend and team mate Nick Holloway. Ben and Nick started playing together in Huddersfield back in 2014 and quickly became friends as they were neighbours and shared a keen interest in sport, but had not envisaged that their interest in padel would take them on such a journey. 

 Teams comprise of a pair from 5 age groups (over 35s, over 40s, over 45s, over 50s and over 55s) competing against countries from around the world. The standard is very high and competition will be fierce with everything to play for and Ben and Nick will ensure everyone gives their best effort for Team GB.
