The level doubles tournament consists of two tournaments, ladies, and gents. This is the only tournament at Jedburgh Badminton Club where members can select their playing partner. Seeded players cannot partner each other and of course handicapping is applied.

 The round robin matches were hotly contested with all teams focussed on winning. In the ladies tournament, four teams played each other with pool winners Myra Younger and Christine Wylie destined to battle it out with pool runners up and long time partnership of Tracey Kirkpatrick and Violet Livingstone. In the final, Kirkpatrick and Livingstone, took the first game but a fired up Younger and Wylie fought back to win the second to make it a three ender. Too strong for their opponents who perhaps ran out of steam, the deciding game went to Younger and Wylie, this year’s Ladies Level Doubles champions (16-12, 21-16, 21-14).

 Meanwhile in the gents section, two pools of players mustered for battle to decide the semi finals. Three of the four seeded pairs made it through to the semi finals with the surprise addition of the unseeded Ross Cockburn and Cameron Spence who played extremely well to reach the semi’s. With no quarter given, the finalist’s emerged in the shape of Ben Leslie and Tom Watters pitted against newcomers Paul Bishop and Gregor Simpson. Leslie and Watters took the first game comfortably but Bishop and Simpson raised their level of attack in the second game and peppered their opponents court with hard smashes and fast drops. One game all and another exciting three ender was in progress. Bishop was like a chess grand master moving Leslie and Watters around the court like pawns and Simpson played an absolute stormer in all his games. Bishop and Simpson emerged victorious to take the Gents level doubles trophy for 2008-09.
