The year 2008 has been very exciting for the strong 150 members of PinoySG Badminton club as we end it with a line up of tournaments and club activities. Recently we just finished our PSG Interclub Badminton Tournament 2008, where each member enjoyed the fun, laughter and the game as they out skill each other in the sport of Badminton.

With the coming year of the Ox which is 2009, as most of us is filled with apprehension and doubt brought by this recession mania, playing badminton would be quite a great relief for everyone during weekends.

Year 2008 was filled with achievements for our members, where aside from having our own exclusive tourneys; we have participated on other tourneys conducted by other Filipino badminton groups.

We won our first Dual Meet Champion Cup against a very formidable team, Tropang Smashers in a very slight margin of points. Although we won, we felt that their team is still very strong and skilled against most of our players. And that inspires us to practice more.

Our members did well during the BM8 Badminton Tournament, where our Level A Players (Antonio Racho and Vic Nale) got the most coveted Mens Doubles Championship trophy which they failed to capture during the Tropang Smashers Tournament. As well as the Level C Mens Doubles Championship captured by Emil Niduaza and Norman Torres.

Year 2009 would definitely another year to watch for as our enthusiastic and dynamic Badheadz, plans the next tourneys and activities ahead. As a registered badminton club, we are very proud that we are legally authorized to collect membership fees to fund our daily activities.

This allows us also to conduct tournaments legally and within government guidelines

Last January 9, the so called badheadz conducted its first meeting for 2009, headed by Gary Cristobal. Present during the meeting were as seen on photo

Over a free cup of mongo, we carefully laid the plans and discussed the issues and problems that we encounter last year.

For all the members and players, these are the tourneys that you will be watching for the next months to go.
