Badminton in the Philippines
Blake Hawkins spent a month in the Philippines over December and January and was lucky enough to be able to play at provincial club Tinuy An Falls BC. The standard in the area is extremely high, with juniors queuing around the hall with their pocket money just to be able to play for half an hour. Games are held late in the evening due to the heat and humidity.
Blake was lucky enough to also enter a local competition, and had a superb overall experience.
Congratulations to
AIT Senior Mixed A who have won the TWBL Premier division.
Senior Ladies
AIT Senior Ladies A won the premier Division for the second year running in a nerve shredding finale, taking the title on a head to head record. It was a real squad effort this year and congratulations to everyone who played.
