Intermediate Girls Badminton - State Final

After the success of the Hume Region badminton where the team lost only a single match, the State Championships were quite a challenge for the Intermediate Girls badminton team. On the 10th August, they travelled to the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre. The arrived at a very cold stadium excited and a little apprehensive. Their draw pool included the top two state teams, East Doncaster and Maribyrnong Secondary College! The girls played very well - making good calls, showing great sportsmanship and playing some amazing shots. The highlight of the day was winning a doubles match against East Doncaster – who were the eventual State Champions. Well done to the team – Stephanie Ludlow, Lucy Ludlow, Abbie Doherty-Reeve and Regan Hunt.
