Shuttles for Team Akina

Since the Li Ning (Light Blue) were not up to Akina's standards. I've chosen RCL (Blue Green) Since our group is not so happy in paying RM4 for a game, decided to down grade the shuttles back to the ordinary type. Shuttles has been passed to Ah Beh for your pleasure this coming Thursday.

Ah Beh also purchased a new Yonex Bag. The same one as mine for only RM120. I think its an excellent buy. Please let me know what you guys think about the shuttle this time. thanks

Team Akina's T-Shirt

I'm going ahead on the plane to make shirts for the team. After 2 member comments on the shirt, we have decided to chose red as the team colour for 2009. Only the Captain will have the privilege to wear the Platinum colour shirt. The cost at the moment for the shirts is RM34.00. The brand Pro Ace and there will be the teams name on it. According to the supplier, it will take a month for him to supply us with 10 shirts. The total cost will not be more then RM50.00. I'm not sure if 10 pcs is enough. I'm afraid that some might not be able to afford it in these troubled times. Anyway, i do have a rough idea on who wants the shirts already and I'll list down their names below.

1) Ah Ngen x 1 (XL)
2) Ah Cheng x 1 (L)
3) The Yap Brothers x 2 (M)
4) Ah How x 1 (M)
5) Ah Beh x 1 (XL)
6) Ah Pui x 1 (XL)
7) Ah Hui x 1 (XL)
8) Yen Chiang x 1 (L)
9) Myself x 1 (XL)


Any inquiries please get back to me as soon as possible. The shirts are on their way.....................

19th Feb 2009, Thursday

After declaring a new captain, the team spirit is at an all time high. Turn out today was very good with a few one time off players attending. There were at least 10 of us today all in high spirits as usual.

The Yonex shuttles turn out to be a hit with the team. No one had a bad comment to say of the new shuttles. I really wished that I have bought more of it. Anyway, the 2 tubes would last us a month, so enjoy while we can ; )

Today's matches were pretty interesting. We had KS Lim & Yee Chiang vs Yap and Captain. Captain lost but it was close. Ah How and myself when up against Alex and Ah Beh (SH Lee) Ah Beh was pretty determined with constant challenges blurted out to Ah How. In the end Ah How and Myself won both games due to Ah Beh running out of steam and Alex with his inconsistency.
15-8 and 15-13 was the final score.

Ah Ngen and Ah Tiong's partnership was not too good today, they went down to the Yap twins tamely. I really cannot recall the score. The 1st game was a slaughter house. I was paired up with short Put gold medalist Yen Nam. Nice chap and all but can't play badminton to save his life : ) Our opponents were Ah Ngen and Yap 1. Need not say we got torched 8-15. We all split the cost of the shuttle.

In the future I hope the turn out will stay this healthy for a while. Good Luck to the new Captain and hope he brings us all to new heights. Long live team Akina!!!!

Celebration is Over back to more Badminton.

Sorry for not posting anything since last year. Team Akina has not been in very good shape at all since a few months ago. I'm pleased to inform everyone that as of Feb 2009, our new elected Captain is none other then Ah Teong.

Captain Ah Cheng has decided to "Letak Jawatan" due to his lack of interest in the game of late. Lucky for us the accounts are still in the green. At one glance, I think I saw something like RM200++. Very healthy indeed. I'm not sure the new "Cheng Hu" will bring good or bad to the team, only time will tell. But Ah Teong has shown his keenness in the game by showing up for almost every session that we have. So in my personnel opinion, he would be a good captain, a few things would have to change but he's a person that is all ears for ideas. I wish him all the best and hope he brings the team to new heights.

On a totally different subject, I have managed to obtain some Yonex shuttles for the team to enjoy at a reasonable price. AS-30 for less then RM60.00. They are usually sold at RM68 but got discount now so decided to get 2 doz. I purchased 2 different speed 2 and 3. I may not be able to contribute much to the team but i hope by making small things like this would make the Team enjoy the game better.
