Should have some good players there. It's a tournament. Not social. Good experience though. Good luck to all.
i often see Har Tak Choy and Chng Kien Soon play in local competitions... and Wu Run Xiang as well...
Looks like there are big guns playing in gelang serai open. Go and watch 2pm saturday. I'm only a small gun. Their guns are really big.
its not one day. Am hesistating to go even on monday. lets see. Wonder why the organiser need to stretch it that long. Quite a remote place. 1 March is final.
I managed to catch your match. No sweat eh? Saw you giving sideline coaching to your friend (or your student?). Is this allowed? Must say that the kid who defeated your friend played very well for his age.
of course his student, he keep shouting no kelong ah, no kelong ah makes his student kan chiong only..hehe..joking.. wah, joe also got play? i though he only there for coaching?
xiaobunny, i am not sure. the skinny kid was there with his mum and siblings who were all cheering for him. i was trying to guess his age, probably 12 years old or younger. for his age he has good technique, footwork, gameplay etc and he was very hardworking throughout the match. i believe the opponent, a teenager, underestimated the kid and had no answer to the kid's game. he lost in 2 straight games and i thought he looked very stunned after his loss.
oh that him.. haha .. i going against him later.. his dad is a ex-national .. Kenny wong.. I am under him.. he is 14yrs old.. Anglican high player..
wah.... the guy who beat me won the geylang serai tournament. Well done. Expected it. If only I have trained harder...(huffing and puffing) maybe got chance to win it. I slipped on the 2nd game... hehe.. So, any other tournaments ahead?
A little confused : "oh that him" refers to the 'Skinny Kid' or the 'Teenager'? My sons r trg under Kenny Wong too. Cos his 14-year-old elder son doesn't look like a 'kid' for his height....a little enlightenmen plse
This skinny kid technique is quite ok. Above average for the standard. He need more power to be successful. In badminton if you don't have the power, its difficult to survive. He lost to an experience and more powerful player. It is competitive. His power overwhelmed me in the 1st set. I wasn't woke up yet. hehe. On second set even though I hit 20 first, the gas just went out. Am sure some of the competitive player here knows how brutal it is to play singles. I wish I was younger. hehe.. I was there just to have fun and give some baptism of fire for my student in doubles. This is to motivate him and let him know the 'learning' process in being a good badminton player. Obviously we lost in to the same person. If he focus well, he will be the one to watch in under-16 age group. Am beefing him up with a left hand partner. Another KKK-TBH in the making... watch out in a court near you. hehe You can train together with them if you want to learn something. So I tot, what the heck, have some fun in singles.
Any upcoming tournaments? Any upcoming tournaments, apart from the inter-con that is??? Maybe we should create and maintain a tournament calendar here....
The problem with this is those organisers don't come here and contribute. Not all bcers will know as well. Not easy. We are counting or bcers eyes to spot for notices around the halls for tournaments. At times its last minute. Too bad. That's also one of the reason why sports is not very successful here. It's not a priority. Lack of coordination from CC, SSCs and BAs. They don't talk as much as they have their own priority There are lots of enthusiastic people who can organise them. The usual issue is lack of funds. Badminton is one of the most popular game and it's not nurtured well enough. Enjoy life.
Mt Faber Tournament There is tournament at Mt Faber Safra coming 17th Mar to 20th Mar'09. Manage to participate for the men single only, Men double already close due to overwelming. Check it out if you are free.
