A historic night for the Association: the inaugural badminton encounter between Royal College OBA NSW and St John’s College OBA NSW, organised by Royal College OBA NSW, was held on 8 June 2026 at Alpha Egerton Courts, Silverwater — and marked the first time a badminton team has been formed for Royal College OBA NSW.
Fittingly, the debut ended in style, with Royal emerging victorious 17–8 in a convincing display.
Outstanding performances of the night:
• 
Best pair: Deva & Ruwan (Royal College)
• 
Second best pair: Nishantha & Hiran (Royal College)
• 
Third best pair: Dhilee & Aathi (St John’s College)
Congratulations to all players and thank you to everyone who came along to support. With a start like this, badminton looks set to become a permanent fixture on our sporting calendar.
