The day began with the Cardiff menÔÇÖs first team playing PlymouthÔÇÖs first team on home soil.┬á If Cardiff won, it could earn them a play-off place.┬á
First up was top singles player Dominic Brown, defeating his opponents from Plymouth in straight sets. Next up was CardiffÔÇÖs Nick Ward; nothing got past him as he annihilated his opponents in straight sets.
Doubles pair Wai Lim (Captain) and Huw Bowen were next in line. They massacred both of their opponents in straight sets. Throughout both games, they showed no sign of fatigue and shot after shot, they showed great determination and teamwork.
The last games of the day came from pair Teoh JJ and Darren Wong. In the first game, niether of them gave Plymouth any opportunity to get a foothold in the match. Their attack was second to none and fews errors were forced.
In the second game, their opponents upped their game to take the edge over JJ & Darren.

For Cardiff menÔÇÖs second team, they had to travel over to the University of Glamorgan. Spirits were high and the team were positive to come out as the victors, even though members of the team hadnÔÇÖt played with each other in the past.
Sam OÔÇÖCallaghan and Michael Khong proved too much for Glamorgan and they both quickly defeated their opponents in straight sets.
Cai Liu and Tom Balson, who have never played together, defeated both their Glamorgan opponents in straight sets.
Cardiff pair Keith J Chan and Roshan Thomas defeated their first opponent in straight sets. They started to slack in the second game, and therefore had to take it to the third set, eventually prevailing. Cardiff happily drove back home with an 8-0 win over Glamorgan.
All in all, Cardiff Badminton triumphs once again.
