On Thursday 29th February, Team Paulton headed to the badminton tournament at Wellsway Schhool with plenty of excitement – and what a debut it was! Representing Paulton Junior School were Maia, Isaac, Hannah and Ben, competing in mixed doubles partnerships (Maia & Isaac, Ben & Hannah).
From the very first match, the team showed fantastic teamwork, determination and sportsmanship. In fact, they were complemented by other schools for their good play and sportsmanship. Their hard work paid off as they topped their group in the group stage, winning match after match with confidence and skill. A close-fought semi-final saw them narrowly miss out against the eventual winners, Castle Primary, but spirits stayed high. The team bounced back brilliantly to win the playoff, finishing an impressive 3rd overall – an amazing achievement for a team playing their very first matches, let alone their first tournament!
Match highlights included:
-
⚡ Hannah’s lightning-fast reactions at the net
-
🎯 Isaac’s confident and controlled serving
-
🤸 Ben’s athletic leaps and dramatic knee slides across the court
-
💥 Maia truly smashing it – so powerfully that her racket didn’t survive!
A huge well done to all four players for representing the school so brilliantly. We’re incredibly proud of you – what a smashing start to your badminton journey! 👏🏆
