Last week saw the return of the house badminton events for students in years 7 through 10. Team consisted of 5 students in each house who played a round robin doubles tournament against each of the other houses. Each game lasted 8 minutes or until one of the teams had reached 21 points, whichever came sooner. Sixth form sports leaders were on hand to keep the score and ensure that the students understood all of the rules.

The students really enjoyed the opportunity to play competitively and were enthusiastically supporting their teammates from the sidelines when not playing – a real credit to the RHS ethos!

The image below is from the year 8 event.
