Summer Training??? Mmmm…interesting theory. So far this summer, I’ve been playing a fair bit of singles….good fitness work, more enjoyable actually playing than court work. However not really having enough effect. The worst thing is…I’ve not lost any weight for about a month, I’...
Well, since the Restricted time has flown by! I've had the Middlesex Challenger, Dorset and Staffs Satellites. I am now well and truly regretting the good eating and the fact that my exercise bike (oooh what promises) has got a covering of dust. With Oxford this weekend, then November of...
It’s been a short while since my last one of these. Phew I hear everyone breathing a sigh of relief! Sorry to disappoint. A couple of weeks ago, made the grand adventure of heading off to the Welsh International. Played it last year, was a bit fitter and quicker round court…...
First tournament of 2010 = Devon Open. Last year had a big loss in the semis with Graham Hurrell, losing to two Welsh Internationals. So a plan to avenge that this year. Adam had been in Oz for 4 weeks from New Year, he’d hit shuttles once whilst out there…..so we were hoping fo...
Its that’s time again to bore people into submission with my personal drivel!!! No trip up north to the Lancs, so first tournament after December’s county weekend, was the Devon International (oops typo – Satellite), the weekend before last. Crazyness took over when filling out...
Last Saturday I played at the National Badminton Centre in Milton Keynes against the Scottish National Champions. oh how the Wednesday night was different when I played in our club’s mens team. We have several men at the club, but only one mixed team and thus only 3 of the 10 or...

After the big Hertfordshire comeback, I suffered from some elbow and shoulder pain. Was it linked to the previous shoulder problems or something new? I thought it was tennis elbow, as Herts was the first full day of smashing I had suffered since March. I limped my way to the Restricted – 3 weeks la...
What a 6 months. I finished playing in April at the last county weekend. Then went to Kenya for 2 weeks honeymoon – Wife was ill first week, but second week was amazing….saw cheetahs, lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes and more on safari as well. For work I had to travel to Sheffiel...
A month on from the first tournament and feeling as though I was a bit more up to speed. Had a couple of 1-2-1 sessions with a coach working on getting some speed up on court and grovelling to get things back. Our restricted is played on a Saturday and Sunday, with Men’s Singles starting at...
