Lyngby Strikes Again!

Another great day for Lyngby Badminton Klub. Our team played away yesterday afternoon in Frederiksberg (Copenhagen) against Frederiksberg Badminton Klub. This was going to be a very big challenge for us since they were the #2 team in the group and we were,and still are, the #1 team in our group. However when not playing on home courts and not quite knowing the opponents all that well, anything can happen.
The whole team played very well and we took a comanding lead right off the bat when both our mixed doubles and both our women’s singles won the first 4 matches. But 3 out of those 4 matches were in 3 sets, so it was quite the challenge to win. Then luck should have it one of their top players injured his leg (not severely) and had to stop the match which means that we won both matches he was supposed to play by default. From there our momentum was too great and we ended up winning the Team match 10-3.

That was a great victory for us, however after yesterday’s matches a new #2 team has emerged which means we will have to have another clash of the titans before the year is over. Our next team match will be against Farum Badminton Klub on the 28th of November 2009. We will be playing this one at home which is always an advantage. They are number 4 in the group.
