On the 3rd and 4th of September 2022, Kuen Cheng High School Physical
Education Department organized a school-wide badminton tournament for all
students and teachers with the assistance of the school’s badminton training
team. Being a team-based competition, the rules divided the 16 teams into four
groups, picking two from each to make up the quarterfinals, before becoming
the traditional matchups.
The event began with a bang as the matches commenced almost immediately
at 8:00 a.m. The assembly hall was extremely lively throughout the entire
tournament, bustling with noises of people cheering and clapping for their
teams. Courts 5, 6, and 8 were definitely the hotspots for the first day, as they had
many supporters and attracted quite the audience. The first day was expectedly
quick-paced and intense, and by 1:00 p.m, the contestants for the quarterfinals
were decided.
On the second day, the excitement and competitiveness had not lessened
despite the teams being halved in number. The event started out strong as two
skillful teams, the National Team and SWG duked it out and kept everyone on
their toes with their excruciatingly close matchups. With that, the adrenaline
roller coaster was on its tracks and didn’t stop until the finals, where the National
Team and the Hairbrush Army faced off. In the end, the Hairbrush Army won
2:0, having beaten the National Team in both men’s and women’s doubles.
As the event came to a close, the award ceremony was held before a
group photo of all the
contestants, organizers
and staff members.
