There is a huge attendance at badminton club afterschool on Thursday's, with regularly 50+ students attending. From this, 5 KS4 students were chosen to take part in the Newcastle Schools competition at Tyneside Badminton Centre.
The students played exceptionally well and were commended for their fair play and sportsmanship. They played Walbottle in their first match and won 5 games to 0. The next match saw them take on RGS and lost 4 games to 1. In the semi finals they were beaten by dame Allan's 4 games to 1 and went into the 3rd/4th place play off.
This was a re-match against RGS which was much closer than the first set of games and the girls showed great improvement throughout the afternoon. They lost to RGS 21- 9, 21 - 19, 21- 16, 21 -13 but won the last one 19 - 21! Well done Favour and Chosen in the last match, claiming the last points of the tournament and winning the game!
