Match Report 30th January 2019
LX1 vs Central Leicester I (H)
The nerves were up going into our home match tonight. We lost our away match 5-4 a few months so everyone wanted to take them at home...💪 Our superstar first pair Chris and Trace smashed everyone and took all 3 for us 😎 Emma and Martin has a few close games but couldn’t quite get the win.
Steve and I took our first game (against Ajay🤩). We lost our second but were hopeful going into our third match.
To get our monies worth we took it to 3......and then lost 22-20 😓
The whole team is absolutely gutted as it’s just cost us the league but so I’m grateful for everyone’s effort.. sorry to let you down at the final hurdle 😢💔

Match Report 23rd January 2019 LM1 vs Central Leicester II (H)
Captain had lit the flare as Zaf unfortunately was sunning himself and Ian was busy securing brexit in europe! A rally round of players and Special mention to Sam C who stepped up and was available to play. Cap was nervous with an unseasoned Darren and Sam making the 3rd pair! This was going to be the hardest game fought so far for LM1.
Neil and Mart in starting 1st pair, coming off after 2 with their first loss 'these guys are alright' Chris and Phil coming off as the 2nds having taking their 2nds. 1 rubber a piece. Then Darren and Sam came off smiling after taking their 1st rubber. Chris and Phil had their 1sts losing to 18 then a very close 20 but it wasn't going to 3. 2 rubbers a piece! Next few rubbers went in Trinity's favour.
Going into the 2nd half, Trinity were up 4 rubbers, this was it. Either a loss, 5-4 win of if we kept our fingers crossed....6-3. Daz and Sam made a good effort against their 1sts however they were just too good. Chris and Phil took their 3rds
Without any trouble, 5-4. The spread was looking good, then Mart and Neil came off taking their 2nds. Boom 6-3 to Trinity. A great nights badminton, some great points played by every Trinity player. 5 games left to play, we've beaten all the teams......Trinity is set for promotion to division 3 next year. We'll done guys, one proud/pleased captain. Great showing👍🤝🍻🍾🏆🥇

Match Report 17th January 2019 LM2 vs Shepshed I (A)
This was more difficult then expected, as we’d played them earlier in the season and came away with a comfortably win! They made it difficult for us, taking two games from Sam and Alex, and giving them a very tight game in the last as it went to 3.
Me and Anand confirmed 2 but couldn’t beat their 1st Pair. Star performances to Daan and Kirinam though, going in a the 3rd pair and winning all their matches! They had played together last season but he not played together since, so they definitely had a strong natural partnership. We won 6-3 in the end and are still fighting for the season!
We face Huncote in a couple of weeks time, who we lost to, and need our redemption. And then in March, it’s Croakers... twice! Two wins and we stand a great chance of winning the title. Anything else and it’s slim pickings.
