Lancaster Morecambe Badminton League - League Match Sixteen

With only three matches left in the league, most of the clubs are already confirmed regarding their status for the next season including Bailrigg A. We will be staying in the Division 2 again for the next season, something that I have no doubt since the beginning of this season. However, it will be a close call whether we will be third or fourth in the league. So tonight match against Kirby Lonsdale C, who is currently at the bottom of the league, should provide us an opportunity to get as many points as we can. And indeed we managed to do that, by winning 16-2 overall.

I am a bit dissappointed since Paul and I lost one of our sets. We won the first set easily 15-5. Perhaps too easy since in the second set we didn't push the opponent as hard as we should and they took the advantage by playing superbly, including getting several lucky shots, to eventually winning 17-14. Tim and I didn't repeat that mistake and we won 15-6 and 15-8. And when I partnered with Eddie, we kept our mistakes to the minimum and we managed to get our first win with the score of 15-8 and 15-6.

Last two matches should be an interesting one, against Overton B at home and league leader, Bolton le Sands at away. And then there will be a 6 months break, oh dear....
