On Wednesday 12th October the Senior Badminton Team travelled to Stokesley School to play their mixed Senior Team. Despite an impressive play by the QM Team Stokesley were the winners but only by one point. The all girls team scored 7 1/2 with the mixed team claiming a narrow defeat scoring 8 1/2.
Congratulations to the QM Senior Team who did brilliantly well against a mixed side.
Joyce Chan reports:
On Wednesday 12th October, 2011, there was a challenging match, which took place in Stokesley School. Six of the badminton team members played against Stokesley School. They were asked to play single with boys and a mixed double, which meant that two QM girls played against a boy and a girl. Although it was not an easy game, every one still tried their best.
In the singles matches, the totally result is 3 : 2.5 to them. We tried to do better on the mixed double. It was the first baminton match this term for Catherine but she still did a really good job and played with Vanessa. They got a really high score when they played against the first mixed couples. The result was 20:21 in this individual match to Stokesley School, it was really close.
During the whole matches, the atmosphere was extremely intense. Although the overall score was 7.5 : 7 to Stokesley School, we still enjoyed the matches and gained a lot of experience. So now we are going to work on our mistakes and try to improve further.
Well done everyone.
