School Games - Badminton Week 3

This week was the final week for the girls' School Games Badminton League. The four Oakwood girls had one final game, a crunch match, against the also unbeaten Bitterne C of E. The winners of the 3 game match would be crowned champions.

Millie lost the opening game 7-9 in a back and forth encounter. This meant Oakwood needed to win both the remaining games to claim a victory. Zahra and Holly then took to the court and stormed to a 9-3 win. With the tie now poised at 1-1, all the pressure fell on Millie... She was fantastic! A 9-3 win clinched the match 2-1 and Oakwood girls were crowned City Champions in girls Badminton. Holding on the title won last year.
Well done girls!!!

Both the boys team were up against their respective league leaders. Oakwood A battled, but couldn't find enough for the win: losing 1-2. Alex (l) 7-9, Marcus (L) 7-9 amd Jack and Tom (W) 9-2.
Oakwood B fell to a 0-3 defeat against a strong Bitterne C of E. Jenson (L) 3-9, Nathaniel (L) 3-9 and Tymain and Lewis (L) 5-9.
