The organizing coach commented to me that the 2010 NSSSAA Badminton Finals had been very sportsman like with little or no issues in regards to calls made, angry behaviour or any of the other issues sometimes seen at Badminton. Hoping those who qualified will take this spirit with them as they continue on to NWOSSAA in Atikoken.
Congratulations to all the athletes who exemplified sportsmanlike behaviour!
I had been promised score sheets from both junior and senior play but have yet to receive them, once I do, they will be posted here along with additional video from the senior finals.
