2nd Round of Competition

The Hwa Chong Badminton Team(HCBT) C'Division has officially made it to round 2 of the competitions! We were the top of our group, therefore our route to semi-finals should be free of obstacles. Our targets for this year is higher than the previous, but I am confident that the team would be able to achieve better results than would be expected. However, I feel that there would be a need to change the training environment. Our school hall needs a little refurbishing and maybe a new layer of flooring. I believe that with the improved facilities, the badminton team would be able to concentrate better during trainings.

1st Day of West Zone Badminton Champion Campaign Success!

Today marked a milestone as a hwachong badminton player. It was my 1st match played as a senior in my division, and I feel proud to win for my team. Even though it was an easy match, I had to show respect to my opponent by playing my best. I hope that my journey to the champion of west zone will be successful. Wishing my team mates and I all the best! :)

Yestrday's loss to Kranji in Semi-final

Yesterday, our HCBT lost to Kranji Seconary School at Jurong East Sports Hall. We reached the sports hall in high sprits, confident of winning them. We did our warm-up and got ready to play. Our first singles was our captain, Yongming. His performance was totally atroious and everyone did not expect hm to win. Even so, his opponent was so proud and arrogant that I felt like going into the court to thrash him. The next math was the first doubles. eeryone pinned their hopes on them to secure a point to break. To all of our dismay, however had they tried, they seemed lagging behind their opponents a lot and never was able to chase up. When they lost, everyone's heart seemed to have sunk like the Titanic. We all knew that we were fighting a losing battle. After the match, their show-off coach told us that "we had tried our best and can try again next year". Actually, the wost part of this whole event has only 1 cause. Our badminton teacher told their coach our line-up for that day, which pitted our downfall.He went straight to the Kranji coach and told that to him. Moreover, after each of our losses, he would say that the opponent was easy and he could easily have won. Actually, he does not know his true ablity and would be thrash badly by them. Thanks to this, we would only have either third or forth placing in the zonal competition, and a hard time at the nationals.
