The Badminton East Zone Competition commenced today. I left my class at 1.05pm to set up the place so that we could proceed to host the tournament held in Victoria School. Our C division team was not playing today since the other schools in the same group as us were playing first. The schools in our group include Broadrick Secondary, East Spring Secondary, Greenview Secondary and St. Hildas Secondary. We would have to win three out of the four schools to be able to advance to the second round.
Since on Monday, we would be playing against Broadrick Secondary, the C division members gathered together in the hall to observe their players and find out their weaknesses. We observed the other schools as well, and mostly Greenview Secondary School, which got the 4th place in the East Zone last year after defeating us in the second round. When the tournament begun, all of us sat at the hall and started to observe our opponents' styles of play.
East Spring and St. Hildas were average schools, and when the coach asked all the players, we told him that we were confident enough to win them. Broadrick was slightly better but all of us still assured the coach that we will win them. Greenview was definitely the best among them, and watching their style of play, together as a team, we told the coach that we would win. Of course, it would not be easy if we do not put in hard work so as soon as the tournament ended, all of the badminton players immediately started to train hard and played many matches.
Together, all of the C division players had faith in ourselves, training very hard and looking towards getting the top two in the East Zone since we did not manage to get into the top 4 last year. After watching today's tournament, I was more than ready to take on all the schools that are going to face us and bringing a trophy back for Victoria School.
