    um...I played junior boys doubles, division 2, and we made it to Zones, but then lost one match there so we got 2nd and didn't make it to Provincials :( and this year my partner got his knee checked out and the doc said it was really f'ed up, so he can't play badminton until his surgery about 6 months to a year later, and then another 6 months after the surgery to recuperate. Last year he was on crutches every two months so he has his own pair now oO but he said he might still join the team if he doesn't get the surgery by the start of the season.

    junior boys doubles..... LOL thats funnnnnny... see, I'm in junior high at QE...and our high school junior boys doubles (I know both of them well, and I can beat them ;)) got bagled by dief's junior boys doubles.. which I'm assuming is you and your partner... yeah, QE did pretty bad in juniors.. except for our singles player and our A league singles guy haha but I'm assuming you and your partner played at QE for the divisonals?

    I don't remember if we played divs at QE, we just got driven somewhere in my Chinese math teacher's tiny Honda Civic, and then we played =/ but ya, we beat the team from QE 15-0...heh...we just lost a match right before that we should've won easily (16-14), and we were pretty upset, so...ya. Let some steam out =P but they didn't seem to be trying at all, iunno. I actually don't remember where I played and of the school matches...cept the city championship at Bowness, and we were all amazed at their facilities since they share w/ YMCA...

    Haha the QE team probably lost hope cause they lost eery game except one...

    I would like you play badminton with everyone here, but I doubt I can give any of you a game, even though I'm really good for my age... haha

    I might be able to make it in one time, depends on my schedule - that and I'm not exactly sure where cardel is.

    Mike Lam's smash is pretty good. He needs to bulk up bit to really crunch the bird. :D


    My backhand sucks. :rolleyes: (You be quiet, Cooler)

    G'luck in the black knight jr elite series michael! incase you were wondering, I'm one of the kids you coached at the talisman camp... Carlin, you remember =p

    I'd be happy to play but preferably on a weekend as I have school, and just to let you all know, I'm probably no where near as good as all of you pros =p
