Six Whitsunday locals took to the Queensland Games last weekend to compete in the A and B grade singles and B grade doubles in badminton, claiming two bronze medals and a silver.
The North Queensland Games were held in Townsville across the Labour Day Weekend, where local Dylan Wu took home the bronze win in the Men’s B Grade Badminton Singles for the Whitsundays, while Frederick Yau won silver in the same division.
The pair also linked up in the Men’s B Grade Doubles to win the bronze medal as a partnership.
An extremely technical sport requiring excellent motor coordination and the development of sophisticated racquet movements, badminton as a spectator sport is not to be missed.
Police Sergeant Billy Li was another of the Whitsunday competitors who took to the court on the weekend at the North Queensland Games.
Sergeant Li said that the Whitsunday side represented themselves excellently on the day.
“We all played some really great badminton, especially Frederick and Dylan who did well to come away with bronze and silver,” he said
Sergeant Li also said that the local PCYC hosts badminton training sessions each Tuesday where the sounds of fierce shuttlecock rallies thwack out across the hall.
