Badminton match draws supporters!

On the 18th Jan, Hall 4 gained double victories for our IHG events. Both Badminton and Table-Tennis managed to gain glory for Hall 4 on a friday night. Our badminton team met against a relatively strong Hall 11 in this quarters round. Not expecting to make a clean sweep, our captain Alex Lim, encouraged us with much enthusiasm to do our best. Not to mention, we had a small mascot (wearing Hall 4 jersey) to cheer along with the rest!

Our 1st Singles, Tay Paul Tiong, managed to gain an easy victory. Hence, giving us an upperhand in the competition. With swift on-court movements and agile flexibility, he won his opponent fast and steady.

Next up, our formidable female singles player, Tan Li Si. She also had a relatively fast and steady victory against her opponent due to her calm composure and well-trained footwork on court. With her victory, Hall 4 had 2 points on the upperhand against Hall 11. We would just need 1 more win to gain an overall victory against Hall 11.



Our 3rd match was mixed doubles, played by Alex Lim and Lee Shu Ying. Both faced relatively strong opponents in this match. Yet, with our seniors' experience, steadfast attitude and good chemistry, they maanged to beat their opponents in straight sets. Hence, Hall 4 won Hall 11 in the first 3 matches.


Although we have already won the first 3 matches, we decided to play the last 2 matches as well. With good sportsmanship from both halls, we commenced our 4th match. Lim Shi Hui and Shaline Tan paired together to form the female doubles. Faced with old rivals Hui Qian and Xin Ling (AJC and NJC respectively), our female doubles players were hit with bad memories. The 1st set started off badly due to the fear and jittery faced. Yet, with the shoutings and encouragement of many supporters, the female doubles players emerged with victory after 3 sets.

No photos of Teo Zhi Ye and Damien as our main photographer is Zhi Ye (with his expensive camera). Both Teo Zhi Ye and Damien paired as our male doubles. Again, with experience and strong foundations in strokes, they managed to win their opponents straight sets swiftly. Hence, Hall 4 being the 1st hall to end the game.



We applaud our player, Edwin Shi, who came down to support despite his condition (walking inconvenience). This is definitely the Hall 4 Spirit. We fight till the end for glory and friendship. Winning 5-0 is definitely no easy feat. Be sure to be there on 25th Jan for our Semi-finals against Hall 3. JIAYOU HALL 4 BADMINTON!
