Chessington 0
St Andrews 6
Fours Division 3
The high point of my captaincy thus far and of our season, although it was a bit of a fake result as Chessington put out, by their own admission, a second-string team. Steve, Ron, Chris and myself all played and couldn't lose. Me and Steve tied on 'who could get the lowest scoring game off Chessington' with 21-6 each.

badminton match 7
Chaldon 7
St Andrews 2
Mens Division 3
Again, we came up against a very strong Chaldon team who made easy work of us. Top pair Steve and Conor impressed, winning 2 of their 3 rubbers, but nobody else came close. Me and Scott at least forced their 3rd pair to a 22-24 game, but Kaz and Ron struggled and didn't make them sweat enough.

badminton match 6
Dorking 3
St Andrews 6
Hybrid Division 1
Good away win, though King Steve struggled with sobriety after a boozy birthday night out on the town. I narrowly won just 1 rubber with the mistake-prone Paul 20-22 21-18 19-21 but lost badly with Sarah K after she decided to play mixed instead of the more normal level. I even lost with King Steve though we made a good fist of it 26-28 13-21. Two matches in two days, I'm exhausted!

badminton match 5
Ebbisham D 1
St Andrews 5
Fours Division 3
Good away win. This was the only time all season that the 'normal' team of myself, Chris, Ron and Paul was fielded, and we acquitted ourselves well. The only rubber dropped was the final one, by me and Ron, 21-17 15-21 21-19 - only a couple of points away from a whitewash result, but a convincing win nonetheless.

badminton match 4
St Andrews 7
Howard 2
Hybrid Division 1
A chaotic start to the season as this was my 4th match in a week! I shrugged it off to have a good opening rubber with Sarah K, narrowly losing 20-22, 14-21 before I lost my focus and the resulting rubber 16-21, 16-21 with mens 1 shoo-in Nick DC. I finally made amends by winning the last with King Steve (just!) 21-19, 21-19. Good overall team performance, and would've been 9-0 to us if I'd won the other two, doh!
