Saturday Night Badminton

Last Saturday night I went with JP to an one-hour badminton session with two of his buddies. I don’t usually go to these sessions because most of the time there are four players already including JP, but last Saturday they were short one person so I went along. Since there were only four of us we pretty much played non-stop for the duration and managed to get in four games. All four games were JP and I vs. his buddies, and we won all four of the games, but all were close contests. We could have won with a larger margin but I wasn’t playing too well that day. My power game was there, but I made a lot of unforced errors and my feet were slow. As for our opponents, the guy who organized the session was an average player, but his partner was pretty experienced and has a nice backcourt drop shot. In at least two of the games JP and I were down initally and had to come back to win. This is especially the case in the last game, where JP and I were down 9-15 and I was struggling. We got the serve back thanks to an opponent error, and I just decided to stay up front and swing at what I can. That turned out to be a good plan as we basically stopped the opponent from hitting to our backcourt. At the end we won 21-15, going on a 12 point run to finish the game.

Even though it was only an one hour session, I was feeling pretty tired and beat up since we played four close games non-stop, and therefore the next day I play with our usual Sunday group.
