After declaring a new captain, the team spirit is at an all time high. Turn out today was very good with a few one time off players attending. There were at least 10 of us today all in high spirits as usual.
The Yonex shuttles turn out to be a hit with the team. No one had a bad comment to say of the new shuttles. I really wished that I have bought more of it. Anyway, the 2 tubes would last us a month, so enjoy while we can ; )
Today's matches were pretty interesting. We had KS Lim & Yee Chiang vs Yap and Captain. Captain lost but it was close. Ah How and myself when up against Alex and Ah Beh (SH Lee) Ah Beh was pretty determined with constant challenges blurted out to Ah How. In the end Ah How and Myself won both games due to Ah Beh running out of steam and Alex with his inconsistency.
15-8 and 15-13 was the final score.
Ah Ngen and Ah Tiong's partnership was not too good today, they went down to the Yap twins tamely. I really cannot recall the score. The 1st game was a slaughter house. I was paired up with short Put gold medalist Yen Nam. Nice chap and all but can't play badminton to save his life : ) Our opponents were Ah Ngen and Yap 1. Need not say we got torched 8-15. We all split the cost of the shuttle.
In the future I hope the turn out will stay this healthy for a while. Good Luck to the new Captain and hope he brings us all to new heights. Long live team Akina!!!!

2011 Team Captain
Master Blogger and Double Motion Specialist
Deepavali is over back to playing badminton.
Its been a week filled with food and a lot of eating. Deepavali goodies has just been too good this year. So I thinks ita about time to burn all that food by playing our favourite game. I hope the turn out would be good this Thursday. Last week only a handfull of us turned out due to many unforseen reasons so hopefully this week will be a full house.
Anyway, time to pack up my stuff for tonight and hopefully we will see a big turn out tonight. Catch you guys all later
