Club Day 2010

2010-03-11T00:58:00.000-08:00

The club day was held at the first week of the semester in the concourse area. It was busy and lovely weather that day. Luckily Paul found us a shaded place under the tree, so we needn't to burn under the sun.

I think we did a great job that day as we made 150 new students to sign up for MUBC that day which is a new record in Massey. As you all know our gym only has 6 badminton courts, we can only able to put 24 players maximum in all the badminton courts. Well, what if all the 150 new students and existing turn up during club day? I guess every player need to wait aproximately 30 mins for their turn to play 10 mins. Haha...

Brunei/Mauritous team

Saturday afternoon May 12, all 6 badminton courts at Massey Recreation sports hall PN were centre stage for the first International Badminton teams Championship tournament.
For more than 5 hours, international students from 12 different countries were involved in fierce competition for honours in their respective grades.
Top favourite badminton team Malaysia, was well represented in grade 2 and proven to be the team to be reckoned with. So it was “no surprise” that at the end of the day team Malaysia-2 lifted the trophies in its respective round robin grades. Brunei and Mauritius team comes the second.
This dominance was certainly not without fierce resistance from other high skilled team performance such as: India, Brunei, Philippines, Germany, Sri Lanka New Zealand-2 and China-2.
In the top Grade-1 event, the competition was even closer with one mixed game between team China-1 versus team Indonesia going the full length of maximum score 30-29 in favour of China.
But at the end of the day it was the team combination of Indonesia/Sri Lanka that overcame their nerves and carried away the trophy from China-1, Malaysia-1 and New Zealand.
Team members at the end of the day have expressed their view in favour for the continuation of such an event perhaps on an annual basis.

Uni Games 2007 in Christ Church

2007-04-26T00:55:00.000-07:00

In the men’s competition, Victoria and Massey University were the gold medal contenders in final.
The final score was tied at 3-3 but after a count back on points, Victoria University was the champion. But we were only 3 points left behind and so we are on the 2nd placing.
Competition manager Louise Cunningham says there has been some good competition in the tournament. “Victoria, Massey and Waikato all seemed very close in ability to me,” she says.

Our players are Leck Tham, Dylan, James C and Earl.

Badminton successfully contribute 9 points for the overall university points.

2 of our players , Leck Tham and Dylan Roberts are in the list of badminton tournament team for unigames this year.

A number of members had a good hit at the newly laid timber floor (costing $1million for all 3 Arena Halls) B&M Centre on 1st March. The lighter tone floor boards from Denmark seems to brighten up the hall plus the resilience sporting characteristics. Here attached some photos taken earlier during Kooi site inspections.

Unigames

2006-12-08T23:39:00.000-08:00

We were able to send three teams down to the Uni games in Wellington (Two men and one Woman team) in 2006. The top men’s team came second in a close fight for the top 3 places. The second men’s team came 5th and the women’s team just missed the medals at the fourth position but overall I think Badminton was the winner on the day.

Massey badminton Competition

2006-12-08T23:28:00.000-08:00

For the Massey tournament in the year 2006, we managed to book all of the courts for the day’s duration. This facilitated about 50 people playing, and some very strong competition. Fun was had by all and at the end of the day Badminton was the winner.

interclub

2006-12-08T23:19:00.000-08:00

For those of you that were not here in the summer 2005, we ran two league teams, each of which was in a league of its own, winning both grades with ease.
In 2006 we placed four teams in the interclub competition: Two in B grade and two in C grade. Massey 4 come an astonishing 1st in the C grade, while as for the rest of us, I suppose we had a fun time fighting it out at the bottom of the table, which after all made Badminton the winner on the day.
