Premier League

Yaayy!! Our Imperial College Badminton Team has promoted from First Division League to the Premier League next year!!!

Well, you might wonder what's the big deal. Basically, almost all sports system in the UK works quite similar to the preminent English football game. The most prestigious is so called the Premier League, then followed First Division, Second Division and so on. England is famous for its FA Premier League, but nobody cares about badminton or table tennis.

Each year a few teams will be relegated from the Premier League, and substituted by a few teams from the First Division. It works the same between the First and the Second Division.

Apparently, we are the only sports team in Imperial College who qualifies for a premier league system at the moment. We also broke the club record and history for being the first team to jot the university name in a premier league table, since the badminton league exists.

Kind of glad for our achievement, didn't waste my effort throughout the year though (even sometimes I have to skip my work). We went all the way to Cardiff yesterday to play with our opponent UWIC. Have to be frank, they are great players, but....we are better...wahahahah...end result, they get relegated from the Premier League. Too bad, that's how the secular world works I'm afraid --- natural selection :p

An average FA Premier League footballer get paid like £10,000 per week, but for badminton we get nothing, probably some T-shirt sponsors. Should have "invested" my time on football rather than badminton since young....haiii...wrong strategy.
