Learning curve on court

The badminton team was in action again on Wednesday 29 February. Fully motivated the six players drove to Magdalen College School to compete. The team was composed of Hussain, Paul, Miras, Leonard, Max, and Jakob. From the start all the players knew that it was going to be a difficult game but they gave it their best. Most of the players won at least one set within their individual matches but were then unfortunately outmatched by the strong Magdalen College School team.

Hussain playing as ‘A' and Paul playing as ‘B', played very well during their singles matches but unfortunately it was not enough. Similarly, the double matches went well for the whole team, however due to silly mistakes the team was not able to come away with a win. On the positive end however, Miras and Leonard were able to win their doubles game after an outstanding performance from Miras in the back court and Leonard smashing the shuttle in the front court. All together the competition was very successful for the team. Max and Jakob played well during their doubles game however shortcomings forced them to lose. It was a valuable experience and hopefully next time St. Clare's will be the victors.
