Cambridge Cuppers Finals

[other]

They are this Sunday..... i wonder if anybody on this forum is going. I have seen this forum linked to from many of the college badminton club websites, so there must be some people here. i realise that this particular forum is probably not the most visited one:)

oh well, we got beat by jesus college.....:(
at least we got to the quarter finals
better luck next time :)

Yeah, I heard that Jesus had four to five blues players (university team squad members), hence they were one of the dark horses to take the title. But still have to praise Trinity's captain for winning cuppers and college league.

mmmm....dunno about 4 or 5 blues players...they had one good player in pair one, and the other two pairs were fairly mediocre...too bad i was playing first pair :rolleyes:

[jcl49]

at least you got your run for your money. Where is your school in the college league (which div)? JL

i'm in hills road sixth form college, currently top of division five:) need to play one more game, but i don't think they want to play us. We started in div 8 last year, so not doing too bad:)

maybe the blues players didn't turn up :D

[jcl49]

Perhaps, how many years do you have left at Hills Road? Do you know a guy there named Ben W (Chinese guy)?

its ok, the current A2 year had a couple of good players, but they'll be graduating. U dont need to put it down as enrichment, but i would recommend u to, u might not get the ones u want so its good to have some choices u're at least interested in before they put u in first aid with all the girls. it's on wednesday afternoons, also i didnt see too many (maybe 1 or 2) great players in the current AS year, so its up to the quality of your year's intake:)

sorry about the uni thing, my brain is kinda overloaded/underloaded however u look at it...

u mix the 2 years together, they have an a and b team now so more spots on the team and there will obviously be tryouts in the frist couple sessions

its all recreational, but the team 6 players each, 3 pairs of 2 mens doubles play in the university league, somewhere about 3 and 5 i think which is kinda competitve
