We get silver for 2016

Dear readers

The Silver team

WA has won a historical silver medal in the 2016 June Bevan Tournament. That is a great result by any means.

The players have worked very hard and given everything to get this silver medal.

The final score was 5/11. The WASPs did better in their first match against NSW 1. Injuries are setting in and we have to hope for the best in the individuals.

Yuli and Kay should be very proud of their young charges. A few of them can still play in the Under 17s next year. I think that includes our new girl Katrina Garing. This is her first state team and she has been a lucky star for WA badminton.

It looks like the High Performance Training squad scheme is reaping results. It used to be that state team players will only train together for a few months before competing as a team. Now with the High Performance Training under the management of Annie Sim, the players have a consistent level of training for an extended period of time. This I think has made the difference in the team performance. Thanks to BAWA's foresight.

The young Scorpions team finished their competition as the 9th team after beating Geraldton 16/0. They should be applauded for giving everything they had on the court against much older opponents.

I heard that the young Scorpions asked to thank BAWA , their coach, manager and parents on the public stage. Their team existence was based on a push by several including Annie to have a 2nd team to give the young players exposure. It was good for the young players to acknowledge the support of all their supporters.

Now the players have to have a short rest before they compete in the individual events.

Good luck all.
