BadmintonP6 Badminton Competitions Dec 2008P6 completed very exciting singles badminton competitions with many pupils raising their level of performance. After several weeks of coaching in the basic skills, it was fantastic to watch every pupil enjoying playing the game but also playing with real sportsmanship and applying excellent etiquette during the matches. In P6R, Angus Macpherson won through to the final after an extremely exciting semi-final against Kelvin Chen which ended 12-10. Harry Simpson had a comfortable victory against Kamran Afshar at 10-4 which then set up the final match. Macpherson took an early 7-3 lead with some excellent clears and drop shots. Simpson not to be undone fought back to 7-8 which set up a glorious few exchanges where no quarter was given as both players looked to find the edge. Macpherson finally completed the win at 10-8. P6C also had a closely fought contest with Innes Murray coming back from 0-7 to win 11-10 against Ben Jourdan in the first round. Oscar Ramsay, meanwhile, had a relatively comfortable route to the final. Murray dominated the early exchanges in the final but Ramsay came back to level the scores on 7-7. A fantastic finish saw Murray edge it 10-7. Congratulations to Angus and Innes and well done to all who played! |
