Hawick & District
Primary School Tournament
(2011)
Hawick &
District primary schools held their annual badminton competition
at Hawick High School games hall on Sunday, 20 March, 2011.
Throughout
the day, play was hotly contested
in the earlier pool games and knockout stages. Just under 20 youngsters
entered the tournament, with the majority coming
from Drumlanrig primary school, who play under the supervision
of Colin Blaikie.
The final of
the girls
competition was contested between Christy Anderson and Rachel
Goldie. The first end was a close, nervous affair with Christy
establishing a narrow lead from the start which she managed to
maintain all the way through the game and went on to win the
first end 21-19. In the second end Rachel had trouble coping
with Christy's deeper high serve and Christy went on to win the
second end by a larger margin of 21-5. Congratulations to
Christy Anderson for winning the girls competition.
The final of
the boys competition was contested between Lewis Robertson and
Ryan Johnston. In many ways the boys final was similar to the
girls final with Lewis using his deeper high serve to his
advantage. Despite Ryan's best efforts, Lewis managed to edge
infront of his opponent in each end and went on to win the title with a 21-17, 21-14.
Congratulations to Lewis Robertson for winning the boys
competition.
Drumlanrig
took the team award.
After the
finals, Colin Blaikie gave the vote of thanks and Laura Turnbull presented the prizes.
The coaches
would like to thank everyone that scored games throughout the day and Hawick High School for
the use of the hall. The coaches would also like to thank all
the parents
and friends who came along to support the tournament.
