INTENSITY ruled the courts at a school in Peterborough last week, as a collection of schools from across the county attended a badminton competition.
Following a previous competition, the proceeding schools met at the Thomas Deacon Academy in Peterborough. This school was only opened in September 2007, and was the largest to be created by the Government’s Academy programme. It accommodates 2200 students ages 11-18.
Last Friday, selected students from Witchford Village College (WVC) attended the county level badminton tournament.
These students created a KS3 boys team and girl’s team, with the same for KS4. Despite the KS3 boys winning against Neale Wade, the KS4 boys winning against Bottisham and the KS4 girls winning against Stanground, it wasn’t enough to get through to the next round.
However, the teams were congratulated by Mr Mappledoram, head of PE at WVC, and were told that they did well to play against the best players in the county.
In the future, WVC’s badminton stars hope to do an even better job than before, with all the training and hard word that they will put in. The next competition is where they can prove that they really have got what it takes.
