The badminton tournament I played yearly......

It was the time of the year again where my company took part in some badminton tourney. The standard was not of national standard as national players are barred from competing. However, ex-national players can turn up for their organisation. Well, definitely we are not there to win as our standard are simply don't make the mark but it's fun to join in. And, not forgetting the preparation, anxieties, deciding on the strategy as of who played who and the after matches supper with teh tarik and pratas.

It consists of one singles and two doubles. My team did well in the first group match when we won 2-1. However, we were humiliated by last year's finalist, who beaten us 3-0. In the elimination rounds, we were beaten 3-0 again, this time by a local polytechnic, but the matches were quite close.

Yours truly in action... :P

Definitely, there were disappointments in losing but that  tells us  where we stand and helps us to continue to improve, though I felt that the aim is not exactly to win a trophy or something. It's more of to make ourselves better players so that we can enjoy the game even more.  I find that I still need to work on my stamina, strokes and footwork.

Anyway, it's fun and great to participate. :)
