The second night of the badminton business house league had results ranging from dominant wins to close encounters.

In the competitive grade, Cuzzys had some tight matches against RSL51s, a team made up of super veterans.

The score ended three matches each but Cuzzys won by nine on a countback of points.

Unknowns ran out 6-0 victors against 3+1.

In the social grade, all ties were one-sided. Slammers and Asure Quality won all six of their matches while Woolie Jumpers and Stanley Family had 5-1 wins.

Congratulations to HDUBZ on their outfits . . . or were these uniforms? They certainly helped the players jump and glide around the courts.
