Ancheta wins plate final

Steven Entwistle —

The college Badminton team performed well at the Canterbury Cup, with Marik Ancheta winning the plate final.

Our team of developing players, including Marik Ancheta, Justin Niala, Alex Brown, Robbie Lamb and Felix Choi competed in the Canterbury Cup at the end of last month.

We had hopeful but realistic expectations and were duly eliminated in the first round. We found ourselves in the plate with losers from round one and two. 

With 15 players left we were still very much up against it, but Robbie and Marik made the semifinals and Marik went on to win the plate. The boys were overjoyed. 

Thanks to Reuben for supporting us too.
