LM1 vs Loughborough Students III (H) As I sit here with another beer, and all my team are tucked up I have time to reflect! The 'student's' from Loughborough are a force to be reckoned with. Everyone of the squad tonight played some great badminton and stepped up their game. It was needed. I spoke with the captain as he arrived ''my teams on the way, we've just played a match at a university and are driving over' oh🤔, oh F#$%! This was gonna be a tough one, so sleeves were rolled up.
Chris and Phil took their 1st pair, but only just and it went to 3!. A long night ahead. We all had a solid chance against their 2nd pair, with most going to 3. To give you an idea, rubbers were taken to 3 and our guys had 28-25s 25-23s. With some very close games to 19, 18, etc. You get the idea. We took a 8-1 loss against argubly the best team this season. A 5-4 win is very possible away, but is going to require some witchcraft, voodoo, inscence, dodgy bribes and a hobbling of the opposition!
A nice team to play against, tough games, but great badminton had by all. No-one could have done more. Well played team🍻. The away match will decide all🙏🏻🤞🔮📿🔭🎇
