Teacher-Student Badminton Tournament

Posted on: July 13th 2016

On Wednesday 13th July, teachers paired up with Year 12 students and battled it out to win the title of Sale Grammar School Mixed Doubles Badminton Champions.

Turnout was impressive and the standard was high; rumours spread that some members of staff had even snuck in some pre-tournament practise!

After an initial group stage, a round of playoffs to decide on the final positioning followed. 

The fight for first place saw Mr Philipson and Lauren Martin take on Mr Fenton and Megan Ewings. The atmosphere was tense and a noisy crowd came out in support of Philipson and Martin – the favourites on form and experience. However, after some heavy hitting and dubious tactics, it was Fenton and Ewings that prevailed and were crowned champions.

In the third place play off, Miss Collinge and Nivedit Gupta managed to edge past Miss Rowbotham and Ben Clucas.

Thank you to everyone who took part and ensured it was a great success:

Mr Philipson and Lauren Martin; Mr Fenton and Megan Ewings; Miss Collinge and Nivedit Gupta; Miss Rowbotham and Ben Clucas; Miss Hall and Ryan Stevens; Mr Boudin and Holly Wragg; Mr Morgan and Lucy Booker; Mr Bailey and Lizzie McGough; Mrs Boyle and Joe Kahn; Mr Brittain and Jenni Dickinson; Mr Timms et al; Miss Ilingworth and Dan Connor.

Keep an eye out for more sporting competitions after the summer break!

Mr Fenton.
