This team dropped a couple of close games early on and this
probably cost them a place in the top four. Nevertheless they
had a good season and enjoyed their games.
Girls Badminton 2018
HBSS Competition
D1 Team: 12th Place D Grade
P:10 W:3 L:7 Matches won:18 Matches lost:42
Team: Christie Watson ©; Keshavleen Kaur; Molly Firth;
Charlie Russell; Pia McPhail
With a little more commitment and a desire to improve, this
team could have finished in the top half of their grade. Their
result against Iona J2 won 3-3 (168-166) was definitely the
narrowest winning margin of all our teams.
A1 Team: 1st Place A/B Grade
P:11 W:11 L:0 Matches won:65 Matches lost:1
Team:Linda Gee ©; Enya Chen; Lady-Mae Quiding;
Brianna Evans
This team dominated the local competition dropping just
one game to NGHS A.
A2 Team: 2nd Place A/B Grade
P:11 W:10 L:1 Matches won:56 Matches lost:10

Yamagata
Good player depth meant we could field a second team in
A/B grade. This team acquitted themselves very well losing
just one game to our A1 team.
D2 Team: 1st Place D Grade
P:11 W:10 L:1 Matches won:51 Matches lost:15
Team: Tiffany Ward ©; Aimee Kay; Rachel Ferbar; Abigail
MacDonald; Niamh Mason
For a bunch of first time players, this was an outstanding
result. Their only loss was in fact a default due to lack of
player availability. The players all improved considerably
and should all consider playing C grade next year.
B Team: 6th Place A/B Grade
P:11 W:6 L:5 Matches won:27 Matches lost:39
Team: Lily Stephens ©; Renee Beedell; Rani Williams;
Natasha Stevenson; Harmony MacDonald
Due to a lack of teams in A grade, it was decided to have
a combined A/B grade. Once the team got over the initial
shock of this, they played some good badminton and were
actually the top placed ‘B’ team in the competition.
HBSS Doubles Tournament
This tournament once again clashed with our senior school
exams, so most seniors were unavailable. In the end we had
five girls doubles teams competing. Our best result was
from Brianna Evans and Nandika Bhatt who finished 2nd
in A grade.
C Team: 5th Place C Grade
P:10 W:7 L:3 Matches won:41 Matches lost:19
Team: Amber Taylor ©;Min Joo Kim; Harriet White; Sophie
