6 of our S2 pupils took part in a Badminton competition last week at Scalloway games hall, organised by Active Schools. They were Bobby Kirk, Rhys Anderson, Gary Scott, Zainab Razaq, Kirsty Thomson and Tabitha Johnson. They all performed very well and most notably, Gary came in 3rd place for the boys. All the pupils represented A.H.S. superbly and should be really proud of how they did both on and off the court. Below is a report written by the pupils.
The S2 badminton competition was held in Scalloway, at around 10.00am. At the hall we played friendly rallies to get warmed up, before the competition kicked off. The competitors were split into a boys competition and a girls one. Throughout two hours we worked hard to win as many games as possible just before lunch. After our break we were given some great and very useful tips from Mr Smith, which helped all of us get back into the games. After all the matches were played, the points were added up and the results were outspoken. One of the boys representing our school, got third. Representing our school, was fun.
“I played the second half of my game very well I only wish I played as well in the First half than I did in the second.”
“It was really fun and it showed me some areas of my badminton that I need to work on.”
“It was a good experience playing against different schools and in a competition.”
