OSC Vs British - Badminton match


On Friday we had a match against the British school. We were a team of 9, 5 girls and 4 boys. We had been practicing for this match for the past 2 weeks.
My first match was against a boy in singles, I knew that i had no chance to win, as i was really weak i single matches, so with no regrets i lost 8 to 21. I wasn't really disappointed because i didn't have much high hopes, also my team and our coach Mr De Sliva congratulated me for a good performance.
This is a picture of the team:-







2nd match was doubles, it was me and Terunaga as the doubles team, we were all prepared to win, the match even though it was our first time as partners and w
e had no formation or any coordination, keeping that in mind we still played randomly. Surprisingly we found our selves to be at 15- 21 (losing) towards the end. But in our heads, we knew we had done really well.



3rd match was me and Mo, it was mixed double, this was also our first time playing. We used the technique that was playing side by side and moving backwards if we were to hit the shuttle far back on the opponents side, there were many other moves. We managed to keep them below 4 points, while we managed to finish the game with a final score of 21-4. This was a big win, as the team had lost quite a few games.
Over all this has been a good experience for me, as i have learnt to work in a team, while playing badminton, and also has allowed me to become more confident about adapting in these tough situations. I hope not to see more situations like these, but if their are, then i will be ready to tackle them.
