Jaz and Tyz are both out of the singles after losing in 2 sets to their opponents. I was pleased to watch them give everything they have and fighting for each point. They both came close to equalising their game for a 3 setter but could not get there. Jaz lost 21/16 and 21/19 to Matthew Lee. Tyz lost 21/12 and 21/17 to David Liang.

Shelby has progressed to the next stage after an easy win against her opponent Bowatte at 21/7 and 21/11.

Silvi is out.of the singles after hitting a wall called Joy Lai.

Alex is also out after losing to her ranked NNZ opponent.

Amos won easily against Enoch Chiu at 21/12 ad 21/18.

Phing also had an easy game against Daisy Ferguson of Tas beating her in 2 easy sets at 21/4 and 21/5.

Jaz and Tyz played their first doubles. They won the first set after coming from behind winning 21/16. They lost the  2nd set at 16/21 after losing concentration. The 3rd set was close and they were behind until point 11. They then caught up and finished the game with a win at  21/14.

Titus was playing his first doubles with Eric Luk from  Victoria against another Victorian pair. He managed to get to 3 sets but could not capitalise on his 2 point lead finally losing after 2 deuces. They won the first at 21/19 but lost the 2nd at 21/16 and the 3rd at 24/22.

Jaz and Tyz had another easy doubles winning Duhig and Lush Saunders 21/7 and 21/6.

Jaz and Alice Wu also tried out their new partnership winning against H Perham and Agulto at 21/8 and 21/10. They are experimenting with mixed doubles and doubles formation. I think they should stick to mixed doubles.

Amos and Phing who are ranked 3/4 beat WK Chan and Borchet 21/4 and 21/6 easily.


Shelby tried out a new mixed doubles partner but lost with S Turner at 21/14 and 21/19.



Tyz and his new partner Rigg lost 21/15 and 21/17. Tyz and Shelby will go to the plate.

Ed and Silvi did well to beat J Tan and Daniele Skarrot 21/11 and 21/8.


We all came back to a dinner cooked by Ed's parents. It was a good dinner and everyone enjoyed everything leaving nothing.

Annie and I went shopping for more lunch stuff. The canteen charges us $1 for hot water to put into our instant noodles cups. Well, they have to make a living.

Dinner and lunch has been thought out between Touk Krei and myself.

The players were given a lecture tonight about focusing on their games instead of flirting around socialising. I agree that they should avoid floating around from teams to teams chatting up the other players. Perhaps they will take heed tomorrow.

The whole team in a bed. This is how we save  on accommodation cost.
