OCAA BADMINTON BRONZE MEDAL: This weekend Redeemer was represented by Randall Brus at the Ontario Provincial tournament in Badminton. This was Redeemer's first year competing in Badminton in 2 decades. After finishing 3rd in the West region two weekends ago, Randall traveled to Windsor for the Friday/Saturday tournament this weekend. Randall began the tournament with a win over the West #1 seed. After dropping decisions to the East #2 and #3 seeds, Randall earned another victory in his match with the West #2. He finished his round robin with a loss to the East #1 seed, but it was enough to earn him a spot in the semi-finals with a 4th place finish in round robin. After losing to the eventual Gold medal winner in the semi-final, Randall won the best 2 of 3 match against Gurkirandeep Singh (of Georgian College) 13-21, 21-13, 21-13 to earn Redeemer an OCAA Bronze medal! CONGRATULATIONS RANDALL!
