Badminton - a sport for all ages
Our 2022 Winter badminton competition and inaugural Spring 'Pickle Ball' social games have come and gone for the year. Our 2023 Wednesday night Winter Competition has commenced. Starting time is 7:30pm. We still need fill-ins.
Our club caters for players with that competitive drive, as well as for players who just want to keep fit and partake in the fellowship that our sport offers.
Badminton is one of the easiest sports to take up and one of the easiest games to accomplish in a very short period.
Age is no barrier. Korumburra Badminton Association provides for families and individuals from primary school age and onward. So if you're looking for an energetic, inexpensive sport to play, then come along for a hit. Racquets are available for practise.
For inquiries call Ian Cole on 0427 553 755.
We play in the sports stadium at Korumburra Secondary College. Driving from the Bass Highway, head out along Radovick St (pub is on the corner) continue along Jumbunna Rd and about 5 minutes drive from the Bass Highway you should arrive at the college. Turn left and drive all the way round the back to the stadium.
KBA 2019 Mini Summer Comp Results
Our sixth and final week came down to the wire. Section 1 had only 4 players turn up, Josh, Ian, Maurice and Graham. Unfortunately, Graham had injured himself during the week and relegated himself to umpiring. This meant having to play a rotating format of 2 at one end of the court and 1 at the other end, giving Josh, on 13 points, a clear advantage and in a good position to win all 4 of his games. Paul on 14 points did not attend and therefore remained on 14 points.
At the other end of the stadium, Section 2 ran with 5 players. Krystal on 13 points and Anthony with the overall lead on 15 points, were challenging Josh for the top prize. Anthony needed to win 3 of his 4 games, that's if Josh were to win all 4 of his games. Anthony (partnering with Aiden) in game 3, was looking down and out when the pair tied the score right at the end, then won on a playoff. Losing his last game, Anthony finished on 17 points, tying with Josh who won all 4 of his games. Commiserations to Krystal who was sick one week but turned up anyway to support the group. Had she been able to play that week, the outcome might have been different, as she finished on 16 points.
The games immediately after supper had a twist to them. The players were asked to start their games on 21 and work backwards to zero. These games were not easy to umpire, as instilled habits are hard to break.
Don't forget our presentation night next Wednesday at the Austral Hotel in Korumburra. Be there by 6:45pm at the latest for dinner. A tip for dinner. Unless you usually have a very large meal, consider asking for a smaller meal, the portion of which you would normally have at home and at the same time save yourself quite a few dollars.
