Recap

The Coventry 1^st Team were given a harsh welcome to the Coventry Mens 2^nd Division following promotion last year.

Following team struggles on both sides the match finally got underway and was played in great spirit.

Steve and Aseem seemed to struggle all night with keeping the shuttle in the court and over the net. More practice required… However, managed to keep just enough over and in to take David Lloyd’s first pair to a three game rubber, but fell a little short.

Shahid and Phil were a little slow on the up take but managed to take a rubber against the David Lloyd 3^rd pair. Not without a little controversy with confusion over a frame shot!

Jeremy and Isaac were up to their old tricks combining acrobatics and Badminton. Both diving for the same shot at one point! After a full on three game rubber they secured another win for the team over the David Lloyd 1^st pair.

Now all the cob webs have been knocked off it is very much a case of onwards and upwards. We now know the standard and have to become competitive at this new level. All of the opposition pairs were beatable and we look forward to the return match away at the end of the season.

David Lloyd Coventry BC won the match 7 – 2.
