We are not certain of the exact date of the foundation of the club in the town, but we have recollections of organised badminton being played at least as far back as 1925.

Up until the 1950's there were two clubs, one was based in the Badminton Hall in Priory Street, while the other club played in the YMCA hall in John Street.  By all accounts, both were doing poorly and two good friends Frank Poytz and Jack Brooks were credited with organising the amalgamation of the two.  The result of the merger was that the members of the Badminton Hall in Priory Street moved across town to join their colleagues in the YMCA hall. 

The club played in the Waterford League, but it was not all plain sailing even after the amalgamation.  A slump in interest in the late 1950's and early 1960's meant the club had only four female members at one stage.  To allow the club enter extra teams permission was sought from the Waterford league for the ladies to be allowed play on more than one team.  This unusual request was granted by the league.
