Last week saw very little badminton for myself as I was sunning it up in Greece :) first day of training out there became my last, running 9k in 44 degrees was not nice! Since I came home Saturday I have had 4 oncourt sessions. Each session is now going to contain a lot more game play due to my first tournament coming up which is the middle of September, hopefully the summer training will pay off.

Hi,

I have been back in Loughborough since the Uber Cup a couple of weeks ago.
All our training up here has been centred around BUC's finals which are a week this weekend.  Loughborough is hoping to get to the final, however face tough competition from Bath in the semi finals.

After BUC's finals, we have the European's in mid April, so I will hopefully get back to Cardiff for training with Sarah, as preparation.

We also have the first round matches for the BE Cup coming up, Loughborough Students have won the event for the last two years, and we are hoping to do well again this year.
