Year 9 County Badminton Champions
A large snowman stood at the entrance to Cranfield University sports hall to greet the Year 9 badminton squad as they embarked on their quest to become county champions for the second successive year.
He may well have had cold feet but the Upper 4 girls remained undaunted and warmed to their task in a flurry of activity as they took on Stopsley and Stratton.
Hana Staddon showed the value of hitting long and hitting down in her singles matches. She moved her opponents around the court to good effect and had two impressive singles wins.
Alice Devaney made good use of the drop shot in her doubles matches and punished the short clearance with unerring regularity. They were well supported by Harry Elston, Georgina Hind and Louisa Cocksedge as they ran out 5-0 winners against Stopsley and 3-2 victors against Stratton.
Congratulations to all the girls on becoming COUNTY CHAMPIONS for 2010!
They will now represent Bedfordshire in the Regional Round on 5 March in Cambridgeshire.
