2022 was an interesting season . There were some good team matches in the regular Tuesday interschool competition and the players generally enjoyed their time on court . Covid-19 played its part , however , and there were some times when teams were unable to field four players or defaults were necessary . For me the best part was seeing the improvements made by newer players in C and D Grades . These students really made fantastic progress .
The HBSS badminton tournament held at Hastings Sports Centre in August gave our players extra opportunity to play as individuals or in pairs . Our best performance there was by D Grade doubles players Liam Evans and Nicholas Squires who were runners up in their doubles division .
I would like to thank our team captains , Marcus Gee - A Grade , Oliver Roberts - B Grade , Rupert Heslop - C1 Grade , Benjamin Fowler - C2 Grade and Nicholas Squires D1 Grade , for the extra time and effort that they put in to ensure that teams were prepared for matches week by week and the encouragement that they gave their team members .
Lastly , special thanks and appreciation goes out to all parents who were able to assist by providing transport to away games .
Mr Rick Reiter , Coach
