SENIOR HOUSE BADMINTON REPORT 2018
There was a very pleasing turn out for senior house badminton which took place on 10th Jan. Initially, for the female singles, Nicholson/Dungannon’s Joanne Shaw dominated against both Bullingbrook/ Tyrone and Beresford / Charlemount winning 11-7 and 11-6 respectively. However, she went on to meet her match in Mountjoy/Ranfurly’s Joyce Liu who won 11-4. Mountjoy continued their winning streak by also beating Bullingbrook/ Tyrone but were unsuccessful against Beresford / Charlemount‘s Ellie To. The female singles competition finished two wins each for ND, MR and BC.
Beresford / Charlemount’s James Wilson started off the males’ singles competing against BT’s Isaac Li in an intense match but Isaac fought through; the final score being 11-5 to BT. James went on to play Mountjoy/Ranfurly’s Andrew Graham and succeeded with a confident victory. BC then took on Nicholson/Dungannon’s Haydon Kirk in a close match with Haydon coming out as victor. Bullingbrook/ Tyrone‘s Isaac Li followed this by dominating the next two games against ND and MR.
