Ashaway Badminton Tournament Update

We gathered outside the school's gate at 0715 on the 16/11/14 ( Sunday) for our "Journey to the East".

We arrived at Pasir Ris Sports and Recreational Centre for Day 1 of the Ashaway Badminton Tournament.

Upon reaching the tournament location we collected our goodies bags and settled down for the matches.

 Just look at all these happy faces after collecting their goodies bag.

Our girls team

Our boys team

As usual, the whole hall was in a mess, with participates rushing in for their goodies bag, kids running around and chief umpires trying to get the scheduled players to register their attendances for the following match. 

But fortunately, the chaos gradually subsided after the commencement of the first match.

What the hall looks like after the chaos had subsided

I apologise for not being able to show how the hall looked like before the first match started because it was really chaotic.

There were both hits and misses. But what i observed in general is that all the players who played on that day played much better when compared to the friendly match against Junyuan Secondary School.

Congratulations to those who have managed to out done your opponents on Day 1.

And for those who did not, I want you take this as a learning experience and focus on strengthening your weakness during training. Meaning, to really take training more seriously so that history will not repeat.

It is also very heartening to see our players taking the initiative to root for each other during their matches. I certainly would like to see more these and I thank the seniors for showing such good examples to the juniors.

And here are some of the highlights for Day 1

Dinesh (1st match)
