Yesterday Lyngby Badminton Klub played against Vaerlose Badminton Klub in a showdown between the top two teams in the group. Vaerlose is a massive club with many teams, so we were not sure what their line up was going to be but we knew that it was going to be a battle. However we also knew that all we needed to do was to get one point off of Veerlose in order to have a very good chance to stay first in our group. And if we got 3 points then we are guaranteed to be first for the play offs. We started off very even against Vaerlose by spliting the first the mixed doubles and the women’s singles. But then it was the men’s singles and we took 3 out of 4 which means we went up 5-3. Then it was the ladies doubles time to shine, and they did. They won both matches which meant we were up 7-3, which also means that we had achieved our goal of getting minimum 6 matches. But we were not done yet, we wanted all three points, which means we have to win 8 matches. So my men’s doubles was the first to play and we took it home for Lyngby in 3 sets. In the end we won 9-4 and we partied like it was 1999!
Our next team match will be after the new year’s in January against Taastrup. So that means the team has time to enjoy the holidays and put on their winter fur:) After our match against Taastrup the play-offs will start and we will see if we can go up into a higher division.
Good job Lyngby and get the rest you deserve:)
