www.abingdon.org.uk 19 Abingdon Sport “One of the best games of badminton we’ve ever played” commented a Winchester player on 4 February when the Abingdon 2nd VIII badminton team took on a strong Winchester opposition. Despite a lack of 1st team players, there were great performances from Abingdon’s 3rd and 4th pairs providing an exciting and hotly contested match with the final score 9-7 to Winchester. A month later, the Abingdon 1st VIII took on Bromsgrove who, with a couple of convincing wins under their belt, started well. However, a solid defence from the Abingdon players, followed by a real effort from our 1st and 3rd pairs, led to a final score of 10-6 to Abingdon. It has been a brilliant season for our basketball squad. On 26 January, there was great team effort from the U16s who secured a convincing win of 65-45 over MCS. Then, in February, the U18s secured an historic 86-36 win over MCS which included their 1st ever club dunk in a match, scored by team captain Marc Sheriff. The unbeaten season continues… British Shooting Congratulations to Will Canter who has placed 7th overall in the British Shooting Junior Category for the Olympic Trap.
