Badminton
2024 has been a remarkable year for the SJI Badminton Team . The B-Division Boys began their National School Games ( NSG ) journey with great promise , maintaining an unblemished record throughout the preliminary rounds of the South Zone competition . Facing formidable opponents such as Raffles Institution ( RI ) and Anglo-Chinese School ( Independent ) ( ACSI ), the team narrowly missed securing third place after a hardfought match against ACS Barker .
In the National round , despite finishing fourth in our Zone , the team demonstrated resilience , overcoming Chung Cheng High in a strong performance . Unfortunately , SJI ’ s run came to an end after close 2-3 defeats against Maris Stella High and Nan Hua High School .
The C-Division team also made waves during the NSG , narrowly losing to ACSI in the semifinals . A thrilling 2-3 loss , decided by the final singles match played by one of our Year 1 students , showed just how close we came to advancing to the finals — a feat that would have marked our first top-four finish in over 14 years .
SJI rounded up the season with grit and determination . In August 20 , 2024 , the team faced Maris Stella in the battle for third place . We secured a convincing 4-1 victory , sending a strong message to our closest rivals , that we are steadily closing the gap .
Kudos to the SJI C-Division Badminton team for doing so well in this competition ! May we have many more good years to come !
