Season Update
The season continues to go well for all our
teams. The mixed team won their first fixture
of 2020 in the Rushworth Cup and are looking
ahead to the final. They’ve had a good run in
their league narrowly losing to Brandon 5-4 after
beating Soham the previous week. The Men’s A
team, under the management of Hannah Robertshaw, continue to play well in a much
more challenging league after winning promotion last year. The Men’s B team, led
by Adam “Scott” Moulding, are ticking along nicely with some closely fought matches
and 100% effort from all – 3 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw. Our newly formed Men’s C team,
directed by Lincoln Swann, are also doing well in their league. It’s great to see players
gain confidence and experience through playing league matches. Congratulations to
all team players, especially those new to league games, and good luck for the rest of
the season.
Positive Praise!
Firstly, a big “shout out” to some of our junior players. Cassidy and Lewis who have
played Men’s league fixtures this season and done a great job fitting in and playing
some super badders. Well done lads, keep up the good work. To Max and James who
are looking to make their league debuts later in this season – enjoy!
Secondly, thanks to Sarah Whiteside for “stepping up” and joining the mixed team squad.
She’s played some great badminton (believe it or not) and looks like she will become a
permanent team member unless we get an influx of some more ladies – here’s hoping!
And finally, to all our Cambridge Half Marathon runners – Mark Langley, Russell Barton,
Fleece Lomas and Chris Jennings – a brilliant thing to do and huge congratulations on
completing the course with some decent times. We hope your recovery is swift and
you’re back at badders on Tuesday.
