COLLEGE ACT I V IT IES
Overcoming the difficult circumstances surrounding the current situation, Trinity College Badminton Club has been able to persevere and succeed both in improving players’ skills and creating a bond throughout the Club. Even with the restrictions, we have enjoyed a strong intake of new players with brilliant turnout to both training and coaching sessions. Throughout these sessions, we saw impressive improvements within the three men’s teams and the two women’s teams. Due to restrictions, the College Badminton Women’s and Open leagues were both cancelled a few weeks into the Michaelmas term. However, the women’s first team was able to take an impressive victory against Jesus before the competition was cancelled. Although Cuppers was also cancelled, we are looking forward to next year and to see the phenomenal improvements of our players being put to the test. Although also limited to the Michaelmas term, it was wonderful to see members of all teams attending coaching sessions with Jack Curtis and seeing them flourish over time. On a more international level, the weekly strength and conditioning sessions with Harry Vesey were a great way to keep up with exercising while keeping in touch with the team through Zoom! This year, the Field Club colours were awarded to Yi Wen from the women’s side and Jan Petr from the men’s side for their great dedication to training. We look forward to building on this year’s success and recruiting more players next year. As the lockdown restrictions continue to be eased, we are eager to start welcoming players back to the court and to participate once again in intercollegiate competitions.
