PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2013
With lots of changes within ABA in the last few years, 2013 is a year of consolidation. Our
new GM, John McGregor, has now settled down and is able to spent more time and efforts
in the finance management and has hence brought our Association into a better financial
status. He is thinking of better ways of running tournaments, organizing new games for
social players in order to capture more players, grow the game of badminton, make better
utilization of the existing facilities, to improve communication with clubs, and to provide
better services to clubs and members. Our Board has spent quite a fair bit of time on the
improvement of governance, the review of the strategic plan and the constitution, the plan
on the existing facilities and the future opportunities, for the better running and the growth of
the Association.
Late last year there was the visit of Mr Lee Chong Wei, world No.1 in men’s singles. Special
thanks to John Wong, our board member, in assisting the organization of a welcome party
for Mr Lee at the Sky City. ABA Board members, staff, coaches, and high performance
players had the opportunity of meeting this world top badminton player in that evening. A
souvenir was presented to Mr Lee at that occasion.
Over the year, the Association had successfully run a number of national and international
tournaments. Thanks to the hard work and efforts of all ABA staff and volunteers in making
these events successful, and congratulation to those players who won their titles in the
various tournaments. Looking ahead, ABA is hoping to have the opportunity of running
some of the world’s exciting events, such as the 2015 World Chinese Masters Tournament
and the badminton events of the 2017 World Masters Games in Auckland. If ABA is being
given the opportunity of running these events, a lot of work and a lot preparation will be
needed.
Thanks to all the Board members, especially Sue Smith, Chair of the Board, and Mike
Elliott, CEO of Sport Auckland, staff of ABA and all the volunteers in helping the running of
the Association. There are still lots and lots of things that our Association has to do in order
to grow and to improve further, your continual support will be very much appreciated, and I
wish you all a safe and enjoyable festival season.

CHAIR’S REPORT 2013
I am proud to report on the board’s progress and some of the work achieved this year. In
these changing times a sporting association such as ours is continually looking inward and
toward the horizon to embrace changes and opportunity. 2013 has been a consolidation
year with a great deal of preparation work towards a new and updated Constitution. For
some years now the association has recognised the need to not only correct anomalies but
protect the association better and to this end several changes were made via remits at the
2009 AGM in which the need to modernise the document as a whole, was first mooted. We
thank Sport Auckland this year for funding to provide a consultant and currently our
Constitution Review is well under way with an aim to discuss a first draft with clubs in
February/March 2014.
Of further importance is the future protection of our facility. In 2010 we celebrated not only
the association’s 80th anniversary but the 50th anniversary of our Badminton Hall. Currently
Auckland Council are funding a joint feasibility study with Table Tennis. This study will allow
a comprehensive plan to be formulated to begin improvement and planning for the future.
We all can’t wait for this to happen and their report is due in December. Many thanks to our
Facilities Sub-Committee for their continuing work.
I attribute much of the financial strengthening of Auckland Badminton to John McGregor our
General Manager and thank him for his continuing dedication and focus. John and our
valuable staff are an integral part of the ‘going forward’ team. I especially acknowledge the
contribution of my fellow Board members who give generously of their time in their volunteer
roles. This year we welcomed new Board member, Mike Elliott who with his wealth of
strategic management expertise has ably led the Constitution Review process. I would also
like to thank Rhona Bramwell for her game and high performance capability, Garry Coup
our facility overseer with his all-round knowledge of our hall, Anthony Marter my right hand
person and Deputy Chair and John Wong our ‘big’ thinker. John is a council member on the
World Chinese Badminton Federation which has this year granted Auckland Badminton’s
bid to host the Chinese Masters Team Championships in 2015. We very much look forward
to this exciting event. Last but not least, my thanks to our President, Vincent Wong for his
invaluable insight and long standing association. My sincerest appreciation to them all for
bringing their skills to the board table and for their wholehearted support.
To everyone including my badminton friends, club mates, fellow committee members, all our
valued volunteers, and ABA staff, a big thanks and all the best for 2014.

General Managers Report 2013
Welcome to the 2013 AGM and I am pleased to present my report for this year
As an overview this year there has been a number of projects undertaken after finalising at
our first board meeting in January the key strategic areas that we needed to deliver on
This came after reviewing the strategic plan which was consolidated to ensure that the
association would achieve the 4 pillars below
1. Our organisation:
Goal: We are well respected, sustainable an effectively governed Association
2. Our game:
Goal: We grow our game and deliver results.
3. Our Facilities:
Goal: To have the premium badminton facility in Auckland that is well
maintained and equipped
4. Our profile:
Goal: We will build our profile
The board has worked hard through these areas at each of the meetings, Mike Elliot who
joined the board at the last AGM has been a key contributor to assisting with the Strategic
Direction and his support to the board meetings has been invaluable as the focus has
moved more too a strategic position
The focus has been purely on strengthening opportunities for the association through
redeveloping a new constitution which is very close to being completed, identifying future
opportunities for the facility and a rebranding exercise along with a focus on our game.
There are still areas that we need to work on collectively to ensure that we as Auckland
Badminton achieve the outcomes we are seeking.
Through this year we saw the departure of Emma from the Pro Shop and Tom Armstrong
from the Coaching role within a month of each other which left gaps in crucial areas of the
association. However we were fortunate to be able to replace them both with Dan
Livingstone and Brent Miller.
Dan has a strong background in the service sector and strong interest in badminton with his
connection to the Mt Albert club and Auckland Divisional teams so we look forward to some
great results from him as he works to support the association through the Pro Shop.
Brent has been a long member of the association with his connection to College Rifles and
Auckland Badminton through his performances in the representative teams and his role
coaching in schools and representative teams.
Brent’s role in Development continues to be a major focus of the association to work
towards building strong sustainable programmes at all levels of participation and
performance through Schools, Clubs, and Representative.
Also the continued work with After Schools programmes which we see as an opportunity to
increasing participation numbers.
So both are welcomed replacements to the association and settling into their roles well and
we look forward to some great prospects.
This year we also saw Auckland support BNZ and host a number of events which was great
for the staff, volunteers and our players along with the NZ Open in April run by Julie Carrel
which helps increasing the profile and providing opportunities to players in Auckland
9
Our next major event is in April 2014 with June Bevan of now known as the Australian U17
Open and Fernbaby Auckland Open has been moved to September to align with the super
series which we hope will provide a strong field.
Auckland with Events has also been able to establish a relationship with Lloyd Elsmore
Badminton having the Auckland U15 BNZ sanctioned event which I believe is good for
participation numbers and for the club. Next year Auckland through our Events team are
looking to coordinate more events to clubs with facilities to do the same.
As mentioned earlier there are a number of projects underway as Auckland Badminton
works to strengthen its position as a key sport in Auckland
As identified at the last AGM a new constitution was to be established to work with best
practice models and we are close to completing this but unfortunately will not be available at
the this AGM.
During the year we applied to Council for funding to renovate the Badminton hall however
Council decided after receiving an application from Auckland Table Tennis they would
rather provide support to a feasibility study to look at the future opportunities of the total site.
Both ourselves and Auckland Table Tennis commenced work and we are hoping to have a
1st draft of plans shortly dealing with the key areas of Space, Parking, Cladding and entry.
The website has been somewhat of an embarrassment for the ABA and we have been
working to establish a new website that will provide a great deal number of benefits.
This includes a centralised database and to reduce club administration but also allow the
association to identify club contacts in a more manageable way than we currently have. This
will give more accurate information and better flow of information and provide every club a
Website integrated and linked to ABA. This will assist in reducing administration costs and
so funds can be put into the development of badminton in Auckland.
This area is an opportunity that could extend into other areas such as equipment, shuttles,
rackets, and uniforms and range of other savings so look forward to looking into further
opportunities to proving assistance to clubs in reaching their outcomes.
Affiliations fees just managed to cover the fee paid to BNZ this year, a lot of development
work in schools and clubs was funded externally therefore it is important to look at ways of
providing opportunities to participants, clubs and the association instead of always
considering the increase cost model.
On the financial side the association generated a surplus of approximately $150,000 which
is greater than the budget presented. This was achieved through savings on expenses with
a new phone system, new server which has helped the current computer system, new
agreement on photocopying. Funds allocated to facility development was held back after the
feasibility study was put in place.
Increased income came from the game as it continues to grow in other areas such as new
squads, after schools programmes and greater numbers entering into secondary schools.
We assisted BNZ in hosting the U17 National Event after no association applied but also
had a proposal accepted by BNZ on hosting events which assisted in the financial
performance of Events.
These events are a great opportunity and now potentially an income generator especially
during holidays and quiet times but more importantly reduces the cost to players having to
travel away.
10
After last year where Auckland went on the offensive with BNZ calling for an independent
review we saw the CEO resign and the appointment of a new CEO.
Since then we have developed a strong relationship not just with the CEO but also the
board and we have started communicating more and seeing greater improvements in
working together to move the game forward. This got me thinking that if we could get the
same communication process in place it would be great for badminton in Auckland and from
this I set out to establish a Committee to discuss a range of topics but after 1 meeting
realised that if this is going to be successful then all clubs should be involved and not just
selected ones.
So starting in Feb 2014 and then in May, August and November I will be establishing this
committee again but asking all clubs to send their key people to help us understand and
learn more about what we all can do to increase performance and remove barriers to
participation.
Changes for this year will be the operation of the cafe as we have had our issues there with
an agreement around staff, food and hours but I can assure you that we are starting to
make some ground.
The purpose of the cafe is to provide a service and unfortunately due to the issues above
has not done so but if the cafe is to remain as part of ABA facility then at the times the cafe
is open then there will be an expectation to support it, if we don’t we will run the risk of
losing the staff we currently have and with no other options such as leasing or contracting
the association is stuck with it.
Other areas of focus are on increasing numbers but providing opportunities and making the
game inclusive. There will be a review of the affiliation model especially as we see changes
in the way people play badminton and the membership model will reflect that accordingly.
Clubs will continue to be the main focus however with more and more participants looking at
other options and ways to play it is important to work and address ways in include these
groups into the ABA family

 2014 September Fernbaby Change to date to align with the Super Series
 2015 WCBF to be hosted in Auckland and I was fortunate to see this event take
place where there was over 3500 entries so look forward to a good event.
 2017 Masters application is to be completed by BNZ to the hosting entity Auckland
Events & Economic Development (ATEED)
11
A big thank you must go to our main sponsor Fernbaby with support for the Auckland Open,
this event is very important to Auckland with the limited opportunities to host International
events providing our players to opportunity to compete at an international level.
Our funding partners NZCT, Lion Foundation, ASB Community Trusts, Pub Charity, Trillian,
and Infinity for all their support in helping us grow badminton in Auckland especially as the
badminton highlights considerable interest in schools and clubs.
The Regional Sports Trust Auckland Sport and Counties Manukau for their assistance in
providing financial support into Schools and the community through Kiwisport, Connect 2
Sport and Green Prescription. Auckland Council for their contribution to community
development through Connect 2 Sport.
Another big thank you must go to the Yvonne McKay who has done a considerable amount
of work with the Masters and took on the role of convenor of the Masters Committee. She
has led the way with her contribution which has been invaluable this year with limited
support.
The Junior committee also for their efforts to interclub, volunteer support and the National
under 15 tournament in September and we look forward to an eventful 2014 with the June
Bevan in April 2014.
To the staff well done on this years performance, it would be fair to say they have been
pushed and tested and with staff changes throughout the year a great result has been
achieved.
Finally the board, it is another big thank you as I would just like to say that I know I will have
tested you at times throughout the year but really do appreciate the support you have given
me to help us achieve this result.
All the best and have a safe and Merry Christmas!

Coaching and Development Report 2013
Senior Representative
It was a year of mixed results for the Auckland senior division teams. Across the board we
fielded one of the youngest teams ever in each of the divisions 1, 3 and 4. The Division 1
teams finished a disappointing 4th and 6th in the Wisden cup, however some of the younger
players produced stand out performances such as Sally Fu’s win over New Zealand national
team member Amanda Brown in straight sets days after returning from the world
championships. Others included a good win from the young combination of Daniel Hillier
and Daxxon Vong in the men’s doubles over North Harbour 1.
Division 3 and 4 both finished mid table with a finish of 3rd and 4th respectively. This year’s
senior trials for the first time in year required all participants to trial which was a great
incentive looked to be carried on in the future.
I would like to give a big thank you to all the players who turned out and represented
Auckland all over the North Island, Also a big thank you to Brian Robertson and Robbie
Thackham who helped with the co-ordination of these teams ensuring that a team was
fielded for each tie.
Junior Rep
The 2013 season has seen national titles going to the Auckland under 17 and under 19
teams. The Under 15 team had a very good result in Palmerston North but just couldn’t get
over the line at the last hurdle at nationals. The u23 team had a disappointing second place
finish again after beating the eventual winners North Harbour on day 1, but failing to finish
the job against 4th place Waikato on the final day to end up second on match differential.
The stand out performer for the season was Rowena Devathasan to be the only player to
triple crown at both the North Island and National Championships and picking up the
womens singles title at the under 23 national championships.
Coaching Report
This season has been a very busy year for coaching at the association, with a lot of new
ideas and initiatives. Having started the role mid-season there are a lot of policies needing
to be put in place for the next season to ensure everything runs nice and smooth in the
future. My predecessor did a great job bringing home numerous trophies and I hope in the
future we can continue this dominance.
Schools
We have a great relationship with many schools out there providing coaching to a number of
schools helping improve their school representative teams such as Diocesan, St Cuthbert’s,
St Marys, St Kentigern, Kings College and Epsom Girls Grammar. Delivering to these
schools we have a great team with a lot of experience including myself, Xu Li, Kylie Luo,
Robbie Thackham, Li Feng and Rhona Robertson.
Kiwisport
This year we were lucky enough to have a lot of work in primary intermediate and
secondary schools delivering the kiwisport programme. The programme was widely
accepted allowing us to establish regular playing groups in some schools and spot talented
youth to bring in to our futures squad.
As part of the kiwisport programme we have worked closely with some schools and through
it developed coaches running racqueteers courses for students from Mt Roskill Grammar,
Lynfield College and Selwyn College in return for them providing kiwisport and afterschool
coaching.
We have just secured kiwisport funding for the next year to continue providing badminton in
schools as part of the kiwisport programme which we are hoping to establish key
relationships with schools and create new hubs for badminton and through these schools
firstly make use of their facilities and secondly make badminton more accessible to play for
these communities.
13
Squads
This year has been a year of change for the training squads, after offering a lot more
selection to the players we have streamlined the system a little better and brought all these
squads home to Gillies Ave. The numbers through the top few squads have been variable
with a lot of the players getting towards university age and having to make the decision to
which way they will take their badminton career.
The shining light in the current squad structure is our focus on the juniors and the futures
squads. The futures squad is aimed at 7-13 year olds where we take a mixture of young
talented club players and co-ordinated athletic children spotted in the schools we provide
badminton programmes to. In the last 6 months numbers for this squad have grown from 4
to 24 registered members and we have grown from 1 night a week to offering the top
players an option of two nights per week and an opportunity to train in a group with smaller
numbers to bridge the gap between the futures squad and next the developing squad which
is the next step up for these players. Next year we are looking to continue growing at the
base with the exciting prospect of another year working with primary schools giving our
coaches the ability to work with and identify the next national champion.
Coach education
Tom Armstrong did a great job completing racqueteers course in many schools around
Auckland such as Mt Roskill Grammar generating a huge amount of interest amongst the
students at these schools wanting to be involved in the delivery of badminton. Since Toms
departure I have run a racqueteers course which a number of our top junior representatives
attended and had a great opportunity to spend some time in holiday programmes and
learning from the more experienced coaches. We have also had new coaches Jet Yang and
Crystal Liu involved in assisting with futures squads and we are still looking to give many of
the younger coach’s opportunities to get involved with these programmes.
Coach Licencing
This year was the first year where we employed the coach licencing system which is firstly
track who is providing a coaching service in our facility and secondly ensure that the people
that are delivering these services are delivering them to an acceptable standard. This year
we had 6 accredited coaches who all attended 4 workshops with Sport Auckland to help
them develop their overall coaching approach. These were run By Jeff Mitchell who was
very helpful and insightful with his suggestions and work putting together these session
plans with the help of the coaching manager.
This month we will be releasing the revised licencing system for the 2014 year which will
include continuing work with Jeff.
Holiday programs
Each year we run holiday programmes in most school holidays, with varying results term to
term. The most successful of the year was the most recent in October run by Robbie
Thackham and Kylie Luo where we held the programme at Epsom Girls Grammar school
making use of their new 4 court facility. This was a great success with the programme filling
up at 20 registrations a week prior to the commencement of the programme.
We also continued providing badminton as a part of both Jordan and Mt Albert YMCA’s
holiday programme. These were short 2 hour sessions where our coach runs a badminton
session for these holiday camps.

Pro Shop Report 2013
This year was a very good year for the Pro Shop in many ways. We managed to achieve
some good results despite all the changes that have happened over the year from
management change to variation of suppliers. The team is now becoming more of a team
rather than a group of individuals which is resulting in a greater customer experience being
delivered.
The things I wanted to work on when I first started was the range of products offered so that
we offer more products to a wider customer base. We have been working closely with
Yonex as always, as well Prince who continue to provide a lot of support to the association.
Adidas are the new addition to the Pro Shop and they are very easy to work with and have
good product range that has been received well by a lot of players. The sport is always
evolving, which is what we need, so the range will change now and again but I aim to keep
good product levels so that we have something for everyone who walks through our doors.
The online shop never really kicked off and didn’t display all of our products, so I took it
upon myself to rectify this problem as believe we were missing out on a golden opportunity.
Between myself and one of my staff we have developed a new online shop which now
houses all of our products, it is yet to kick off in a big way but sales have been higher since
the new site is in place.
Moving into the New Year I am hoping to expand the range and also improve the layout of
the shop as well as its general condition. I feel the shop still has a lot of potential to move
forward and become more successful as long as we adjust to the game as it evolves; and I
believe we are now in a very good position to do that.

Development Report 2013
Summary:
 Our sport has a strong following at its base but needs to grow rapidly to survive –
approx 10,000 juniors within 5 to 10 years maximum.
 Our current sporting structure at club and regional level would not cope with the
demands that sort of growth rate would place on it nor does it have enough space to
house that many juniors, they were never designed to.
 So to succeed we need to restructure and change our thinking of what a club is, our
membership, fees, incentives and access to competitions.
Funding
We successfully received around $300,000 in funding this year from over 100 applications
and a number of sources:
• Sport Auckland Kiwisport – Primary Fund - $36,849.80
• Sport Auckland Kiwisport - Secondary - $5,000 for Selwyn College
• ASB Community Trust - $79,393
• Connect 2 Sport - $30,000 plus project expenses of around $12,000
• Other Trusts – Approx $130,000
Growing The Base – 10,000 Juniors
• Roadshows were delivered to over 3000 children which helped increase numbers
in our after schools, competitions and promote our clubs.
• We visited over 10,000 children in the last year with our junior programs and
competitions
• We have built up a new database of sports coordinators in the 170 primary /
intermediate schools in our area. We already have strong relationships with
many and are growing those relationships.
School Competitions
We launched a new primary / intermediate school competition in 3 centres – Mt Roskill,
College Rifles and Lloyd Elsmore this grew to over 23 teams taking part in term 3.
• This brought in around $7000.
• We expanded the secondary school competitions into new areas with new
facilities
Connect 2 Sport
• This project was designed to bring people from diverse communities into sport.
Funded by Sport NZ, Auckland Council, Sport Auckland and partnering with
ourselves and Auckland Football. This project finishes on July 1 st 2014.
• We have already achieved all of the KPIs for the full 3 years required for the full
project.
• Over the last 3 years this has brought in over $100,000 to the ABA and helped us
trial new structures.
After Schools
• Over 800 opportunities were presented and we estimate 300 children took part in
these programs.
• Junior club numbers are overall at the same levels as last year so this has added
50% to our juniors
• It has given work experience to new young coaches and some of our rep
coaches.
• The program generated over $30,000 in the last year.
16
•
We are now rationalizing this program and investing in new facilities to allow it to
grow
University
• We have added a new University Super League to our calendar which in its
inaugural year involved top teams from Auckland University, Waikato, AUT and
Massey. The winner was Waikato who won The University Robson Shield kindly
donated by Jeff and Heather Robson. We are looking to expand the number of
teams next year.
• This is helping retain 17 to 24 year olds in the sport, a group that traditionally has
a drop off of 75%.
• Auckland University shows a model that could work to help retain these players
- Club – over 100 members affiliated to Auckland Badminton
- Interfaculty Competition – between 9 teams of 8 over faculties
- University Super League – for the best players and coaches in the area
Seniors
• This will come from new facility partnerships and new business leagues to bring
new adults into the sport and opening up competition access which currently
excludes 80% of our potential playing base and is a barrier to getting them started
in clubs.
Promotion
• I approached clubs at the start of the year to take part in promotion only a handful
of our 27 were interested
• The new website is the start of getting our ducks lined up so promotion will
generate a return in terms of people and income.
• The approach to promotion at all levels of the sport will change in 2014

MASTERS REPORT 2013
This year we had a Masters Working Group of 2 Masters players (myself and John Wong)
and John McGregor and Jack Ngametua from ABA, to organise the Masters. I am pleased
to say that there has been renewed interest from players, and so in 2014 we will be back to
a Committee format (ably assisted I am sure by John M and Jack again). Thanks to John W
for his contribution this year.
Inter Association:
There were 6 Masters, 4 Vets and 2 SuperVets teams entered in 2013. We will be entering
the same number again in 2014.
See the team’s placing results later in the Annual Report, but of mention are:
- The SuperVets #1 team who again won Div. 1 – congratulations
- Masters #4 team came a close second in Div. 3 (even on ties with the winner)
- Masters #5 & #6 both made Promotion playoffs in Div. 5 with team #5 coming very
close to getting promoted (even on games with the winner)
The other teams all had a mixture of success and failure, however we hope that all enjoyed
the season and look forward to a new year with enthusiasm.
Auckland Masters Champs:
Our annual tournament was held on July 13th this year. Based on the entries in 2012 we
decided to combine both Open & Social grades together and had age groups of just 35, 50
& 60. We ended up with 84 players over 12 events. This year we had good results from
Auckland Association players.
Based on comments we got at the tournament, we ran a survey after the event and will be
implementing some of that feedback (re Open/Social, Age Groups and length of games) for
the 2014 tournament.
Thanks to Prince who provided the prizes.
Prince Sponsorship:
In 2013 Prince sponsored 3 Masters Players for the year – providing them with racquets,
shoes and clothing. Thanks to Prince for that.
The 3 players were: Amanda Stewart, Ket Yong and Surya Rao.
Box Doubles:
Run by Jack from ABA, this has become a regular fixture on the calendar. Although it is
open to all players, it is well utilised by the Masters players as a way of getting good game
play. The post-Christmas round is used by the selectors in helping them select teams for
Inter-Association.
NZ and World Masters:
Congratulations to all those Auckland players who had successes in the NZ Masters in
Tauranga, and the World Masters in Turin, Italy. I believe next year’s NZ Masters are in
Waikato, so hopefully being so close to Auckland we get a good contingent from Auckland.

Secondary Schools 2013
Participation
2013 had a total entry of 309 teams, an increase of 10 teams from the previous year.
There were 34 schools entered into the competition. The competition started on Monday
13th of May and ran until Friday the 27th of September.
Two separate competitions were held in the first ten weeks being the competitive teams
and
the second ten weeks of the competition being the social grades.
Four venues were used, the Central—Auckland Badminton Association 99 Gillies Avenue,
Epsom, Epsom Girls Grammar—Silver Road Epsom, Mt Roskill Grammar—Frost Road
and Lloyd Elsmore Eastern zone– Bells Park Pakuranga.
There were 32 grades in the competition. Each team consists of 4 players and I or 2
reserve players. This year there were about 1850 players playing badminton in the
secondary schools alone. Out of these players there are about 800 players were females.
Defaults
Most matches were scheduled to avoid defaults.
I would like to thank the teachers, team captains, and parent helpers who cooperated to
facilitate this.
My special thanks to Tony Griffen and Maggie Chan at Lloyd Elsmore Club, Melissa Chai
at Epsom Girls Grammar, David Dix at Mt Roskill Grammar for giving their effort and time
in making the running of the Secondary Schools competition run smoothly

Interclub Report 2013
Participation
2013 had a mix year of teams entered into the competition with total entry of 64 teams
entered a decrease of 8 teams from the previous year. The competition started
Monday 16th of May and ran until 27th of September.
The Structure was reversed compared to previous years. We played the doubles
competition first and finish with the singles interclub. We catered for the singles
players in the first half of the year by running a singles ladder competition and vice
versa for the second half of the year a doubles competition during Singles Interclub.
There seems to be more players wanting to play doubles only. Maybe it is something that
the clubs may look at and have 2 half years of doubles competition.
Out of 19 senior clubs, only 10 clubs put teams into the competition throughout the whole
year, quite disappointing. For us to run a really competitive competition we will need
the support of all our clubs.
In comparison these are the numbers from 2011 to 2013 and the trend is numbers are on
the decline

Junior Interclub this year changed the format they normally run the competition. It was agreed
that we should run it in 2 terms similar to what the secondary schools does. There were 44
teams registered this year for term 2 and 32 teams in term 3. Despite having more teams play
in both terms the reason for the two terms were to give players a chance to re-grade
themselves or their grade from one term to the next. All in all the numbers of teams playing
are on the decline with 51 teams in 2011 and this year only 44 teams.
A huge thank you goes to the following committee members that helps out every Friday
when the competition is on Daniel Lee, Dennis Yep, Chin Fong and all the club delegates and
parents for making the competition run smoothly
Winners for this year goes to the following teams
