Badminton Mr Mark Dodd Team manager
1st Badminton
This year Trinity badminton edged closer to many of our rivals with the results of many games being decided by the final doubles pairing. We also had our first ever 9-0 victory against Guildford Grammar School. This result was pleasing for many different reasons, it showed how the 1st VI has strength throughout the entire team as well as the ability to play as individuals or part of a doubles pairing.

Even though we only won two games this season, there was always a high expectation before each game and a fantastic commitment and attitude towards every training session. There were some outstanding performances from many players; however, a special mention goes to Yiming Dong (10.5) who won our first game against Wesley College (a feat that has not been accomplished in five years) and also to Nicholas Butler (11.2) who continued to win game after game. A big thank you to Captain Adrian Marsegaglia (12.6) for his fantastic leadership and excellent form over two seasons; to Nicholas Farsalas (12.1) for his role as Vice Captain and being a great role model for the upcoming players in our second team and to Matthew Hadfield (12.2), Peter Perry (12.7) and Adam Nguyen (12.7) for giving their all in every game.

Well done to our 2nds, who have shown real promise this season with fantastic performances throughout the squad. Congratulations, also, to the 3rds and 4th squads who constantly kept pressure on throughout the season with an eye on moving up the ladder. A special thanks goes to our amazing coaches, Ailing Zhang (1st and 2nd teams) and Adam Gage (3rd and 4th teams). I would also like to thank all our supportive parents for the wonderful morning teas that they prepared for each home game. Mr Mark Dodd Team manager
