Results of ODBA Sunday League on April 23, 2006

The last Sunday League had a great turnout of 11 teams and so many three-setters that we finished a few hours later than scheduled. We then gathered at the Lone Star Grill and toasted the season, promising to start the competition schedule again in October.

Congratulations to all!

I captured a few pictures which will be posted on our website badmintonottawa.com for posterity. If you were distracted by the flash and lost the match, then file a protest, ask for a review of the results and challenge your opponents to a rematch.

Have a great summer, plan to play in the ever popular RA Summer Open and see you again in the fall. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. A suggestion was received to hold a one-week badminton/volleyball league in a Caribbean beach destination next February - anybody has any contacts?

Take care,
