Excert of letter to NSWBA member regarding Footy show segment Excert of letter to NSWBA member regarding Footy show segment on badminton: "I'm afraid Darryl's segment has fallen by the wayside. Crowd response wasn't good and so we had to shelve it indefinitely, and now with the games so close, to be perfectly honest they probably won't see the light of day, which is very disappointing for everyone involved. I'm very sorry for this, as I really wanted it to get up and it was a very good story. That's television for you though. I would like to say thanks for all of your help Jerome and wish you all the best for the future, especially for Australian Badminton at the games.

Man that really sucks, come to think of it, I haven't seen or heard of Eva playing much recently, though she did play Under 23's I suppose. But it certainly wouldn't have hurt having Stu who's probably the best all round young talent we've had in years, and Eva who's got great technique and footwork, and is a complete babe (though she still looks 18 or less ) appearing in the media.
hey i just saw eva at the new zealand open and man she caught my attention...hehe and yea ur rite she looks 18 or younger anyway just wondering if any of u hv any info on these 2 UNSW badminton players such as age how many more years in uni coz tho im in NZ now im moving to aus nxt year and will b living in melb for a while then heading off to uni...and 1 of my main preferred uni will b UNSW so mayb if we can stay in contact then they can help me out in gettin in the badm team theres as im really interested to continnue my badmiinton career(probably nt enough achievements yet to call it a career hehe) will they even still b in uni?
