Last weekend Lyngby played a team match against Roedovre Badminton Klub. The match against Roedovre was the first match of the play offs in order to try and go up to the 3rd Division. We are currently in the Denmark Series and finished top of our group in the ground play and now we are playing against the top 4 teams in another group in order to go up. The way it goes is the top team from one group plays the 4th team of the other, then the third, then the second and then the first teams of each group meet. In the end the top two teams with the most points after the playoffs will then move up to the 3rd division.
We had the chance to play the first team match at home. We started great by going up 5-1 with me winning my singles in two straight sets. I thought the team match was in the bag until things started to go wrong. We lost the next 3 matches and let them come back to 5-4. All of a sudden we had a ballgame. We had one ladies doubles left and 3 men’s doubles. We brought the boys in for a little pep talk. It seemed to have worked since the ladies and all the boys won their matches! We took the team match 9-4 and also became the leaders in the play offs.
We have 3 more team matches to go. The next one will be against Humlebaek Badminton Klub on the 27th of February. We look forward to playing since we are a VERY confident team:)
