The badminton squad has had a great start to the season with a 6-2 win over Wellington. The players have shaken off the dust of the summer and were highly competitive, showing great energy and application. On Saturday both the 1st VIII and 2nd VIII were out on the courts. The 1st team was somewhat depleted by the Oxford closed tournament, as six out of our eight top players were in attendance, meaning lots of second team players had a great opportunity to play up into the firsts. Mr Allen was really impressed by their commitment and, whilst not quite taking the victory against MCS, they held their nerve and the final score was 9-7. The seconds, with some new players making their debut for the squad, were also impressive. They kept it down to the wire but lost in the final few games to the same score as the firsts: 9-7. A huge thanks to both the players and the staff, and we look forward to our next fixture on Saturday 8 October against Harrow.
