This means that playing badminton in a competitive environment doesnt keep you as fit (in my uneducated opinion) as it used to, so the exercise I got at our match was good but not great. I’m starting go realise that just going to badminton training/matches isn’t alwasy going to be enough (on days like today, for example) to tick all the “get fit” boxes. That’s a bit disappointing, because now I’ll have to squeeze in going to the gym AND going to play badminton, which is a bit time consuming.

Since I know you’re dying to know, I won the mens doubles game I was playing, but lost the mixed doubles, and our team as a whole were pretty much thrashed. That’s being a bit unfair actually. All the games were very close, but the end result will flatter the other team I reckon. I think we might have lost 6-2….god maybe it was 7-1? Anyway, we lost, let’s leave it at that. We’ve another match tomorrow night, so let’s see how that goes!!

Incidentally, we played against a team from Dunboyne in the Dunboyne community centre. It’s not very well signposted, but if you’re looking for a map, find one here!

Hehehe, I said cock....
