Falcons Team member Nathan Tang has been appointed to the Athlete Advisory Group that will play an integral role in providing input and feedback ahead of the Victorian 2026 Commonwealth Games.
The AAG’s role is to work alongside Commonwealth Games Australia and provide insight from their experiences as athletes to assist in planning, alumni engagement and overall athlete support during the lead up to 2026.
“I am super proud to be involved with what’s going to be a home ground tournament for Australian athletes,” Tang said.
“This is another great opportunity to give back to the badminton community and help Australian sport continue to grow.”
Tang made his Commonwealth Games debut in Birmingham 2022 where he made it through to the Round of 32 in the Men’s Singles as well as the quarter-finals of the Men’s Doubles.
“We have such a huge pedigree of young badminton players coming through our ranks so hopefully we can medal at the upcoming Commonwealth Games.
“We are looking primed for some good results as we will have plenty of support from the home crowd,” Tang said.
In addition to Tang, the AAG includes:
Paige Hadley (Netball), Karen Murphy AM (Bowls), Greg Hire (3×3 Basketball), Anabelle Smith (Diving), Nina Kennedy (Athletics), Brandon Wakeling (Weightlifting), Tahlia McGrath (Cricket), Aran Zalewski (Hockey), Chris McHugh (Beach Volleyball), Matthew Levy OAM (CGE AAC) and Shayna Jack (Swimming)
Tang said he was proud to be a part of a group of athletes that represented various sporting codes.
“Badminton has always been a small community here in Australia, to now combine with athletes from other sports I will be able to hear their thoughts and insights from their experiences,” he said.
A State Camp delivered in Alice Springs by Geelong Badminton Academy Head Coach Naman Bhardwaj has been met with great praise.
The two-day program, which focused on both singles and doubles play, included 13 junior badminton players who came together to enhance their skills, techniques, tactics, and strategies within an environment focused on developing a sense of camaraderie and competition.
On day one the players started with intense practice sessions specifically designed to enhance their singles techniques, tactics, and strategies.
“The day comprised four sessions, which included a combination of on-court and off-court drills, skill-building exercises, and movement training. The aim was to reinforce the learning objectives and provide practical applications in a match-like scenario,” Bhardwaj said.
“To conclude the day, a round-robin tournament was organised, where the players demonstrated their newfound skills and applied all that was learned during the training sessions.”
The primary focus for day two was doubles, with players taking part in both on and off court drills, skill development exercises and movement training.
“Our focus was on improving the athletes’ coordination and teamwork,” Bhardwaj said.
“The day concluded with another tournament-like doubles match, allowing the players to implement the knowledge gained during the training sessions and reinforce their understanding of doubles play.”
Another benefit for the participants was being able to view video analysis which featured Badminton Australia’s Falcon players and showcased the level of skill and performance that can be achieved with dedication and hard work.
“By highlighting the achievements of elite players, we aimed to motivate the State Camp players to set high goals and continue their efforts to excel in badminton,” Bhardwaj said.
Looking ahead to the future, Bhardwaj said there were plans to host future camps across the territory.
“The players, parents, and the management of the Northern Territory Badminton Association expressed their utmost satisfaction with the camp,” he said.
“The participants showcased significant improvement in their skills, demonstrated a better understanding of game strategies, and developed stronger teamwork and sportsmanship.
“The positive feedback and requests for future sessions indicates a strong desire among the players and their support networks to continue these camps on a regular basis.
“These camps have the potential to shape the next generation of competitive players and contribute to the overall advance Australian badminton.”
The Badminton Australia Technical Official Committee recently accredited five of its Umpires with National Certification after successfully passing an assessment at the 2023 YONEX Ede Clendinnen Shield and National Championships in Bendigo.
Chaithanya Madhyastha (VIC), Sachin Vishwanath (WA), Casim Casim (TAS), Paul Garvey (WA) and JD Aldo Auleebux (VIC) are now classified as National Certificated Umpires.
BATOC Committee Chair Sandra David was pleased to see high levels of dedication and professionalism from all the umpires who were under assessment.
“It’s an expectation that our Certified Umpires are strong Umpires and have comprehensive knowledge of badminton rules and regulations and how to apply them in pressure situations,” she said.
“Their experience allows them to control higher level matches in a professional manner.
“As part of the recent assessment, they were also required to undertake a written assessment that involved answering various scenario-based questions to test their knowledge and to see how they would approach unique challenges that can arise on the badminton court.”
The five recently accredited Umpires are now on the pathway to become BWF Umpires and they can apply to be assessed at an Oceania-level event after two years at their new current level.
David said the opportunities for umpires to increase their skills had been increasing at a rapid pace in recent years.
“Some of these Umpires have been accepted into an Oceania Pathways Program, where Badminton Oceania has secured BWF funding to help progress them to higher levels,” she said.
“They will be invited to umpire at international level to continue building their skills.
“It’s also very pleasing to see so many 20-to-30-year-old umpires in the system.
“Many players, who may not make it to the world circuit as a player see it as an avenue to remain involved with badminton while travelling the world.”
What a great week it was in Bendigo for the 2023 YONEX Ede Clendinnen Shield and National Championships!
From the very first team match on Monday through to the last final on Saturday, players from across the country competed at their very best to showcase the immense badminton talent we have in Australia.
The first big win came on Wednesday with New South Wales claiming the 2023 YONEX Ede Clendinnen Shield after a thrilling 3-2 win over Victoria.
The victory for the New South Wales squad ended a 12-year drought as the last time the state captured the Clendinnen Shield was back in 2011.
It wasn’t long before the action for the National Championships was underway, with several matches played on Wednesday evening at the Bendigo Eaglehawk Badminton Association’s stadium in Eaglehawk.
After several nail-biting matches on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the stage was then set for thrilling contests on Saturday.
To start the day NSW’s Rizky Hidayat Ismail and Setyana Mapasa defeated the Victorian duo and 2022 Champions Kenneth Choo and Gronya Somerville in the Mixed Doubles Final.
“We both enjoyed playing and especially for myself as I’ve just come back from retirement,” Mapasa said.
“Really happy to be back on court.”
Mepasa and Ismail secured the XD title in just two games (21-14, 21-11).
However, the win didn’t come easy as they were up against the strong duo from Victoria.
“They (Choo and Somerville) are a really good pair, and the win has shown us that we can still perform well.”

The day was only just getting started for Mepasa and Ismail as they were both due back on court later in the day for the Women’s Doubles and Men’s Doubles.
Although next on court was the much-anticipated Women’s Singles match between Tiffany Ho (NSW) and Louisa Ma (VIC).
After reaching the final last year but falling short against Queensland’s Wendy Chen, Ho achieved a spirited finish to the week with a stunning 21-13, 15-21, 21-9 triumph over Ma.
“It was definitely tough,” Ho said.
“I was a bit nervous during the game, but it feels great to come away with the win.”

Gold: Tiffany Ho (NSW), Silver: Louisa Ma (VIC), Bronze: Isabella Yan (NSW) and Sydney Tjonadi (NSW)
Ho said she had anticipated strong competition from Ma and described their playing styles as being quite similar.
“I knew there were going to be plenty of long rallies that I would have to grind through,” she said.
“Mentally I just tried to stay in it no matter what, especially during that third game which got me through in the end.
“I am known for always going to three which is something I am trying to break,” she laughed.
“Overall, I’m very happy to go one better than I did last year and be on the winning side.”
After knocking out the number one Men’s Singles seed Jacob Schueler in the semi-finals, South Australia’s Gavin Ong booked himself a spot in the title match against NSW’s Ricky Tang.
Tang secured a dream finish to his week with a 21-16, 21-13 performance to claim the title.
“It was definitely tough, and I feel that I was the underdog and certainly didn’t expect to win,” an elated Tang said.
“Gavin defeated me during the team event, but I came back on court ready to give it my all.
“He’s a great player but during the match I played some of my best badminton.”

Gold: Ricky Tang (NSW), Silver: Gavin Ong (SA), Bronze: Jie Ying Chan (NSW) and Jack Yu (QLD)
The title win was truly unexpected for Tang as at the start of the week in Bendigo he didn’t feel he was performing at his best.
“Then as the week went on, I continued to get stronger and stronger,” he said.
“I wasn’t focused on winning or losing, I just wanted to show everyone what I can do.
“In the final I showed my best game, and I am happy to come away as the winner.”
It was now time for the Women’s Doubles clash between Mapasa and Sylvinna Kurniawan (NSW) against Joyce Choong (VIC) and Angela Yu (QLD).
Delighted by the win earlier in the day, Mapasa’s momentum picked up from right where it left off with the NSW duo proving to be too strong to win the match 23-21, 21-12.

The National championships wrapped up with the Men’s Doubles between Choo (VIC) and Rayne Wang (VIC) against NSW’s Ismail and Frengky Wijaya Putra.
Ismail’s confidence was still flowing from the day’s opening match and was ready to cap off his time in Bendigo alongside Putra.
The NSW players showed no signs of slowing as they paved their way to a strong 21-15, 21-18 win over the Victorians.

Gold: Rizky Ismail/Frengky Wijaya Putra (NSW), Silver: Kenneth Choo/Rayne Wang (VIC), Bronze: Yingxiang Lin, Kai Chen Teoh, Julian Lee, Hong Yuan Wong (WA)
Putra and Ismail had faced the Victorian pairing earlier in the week and went down fighting 19-21, 21-8, 10-21 during the Clendinnen Shield.
One thing that was for certain in the final was to avoid a repeat of that match.
“Last time we played them I feel that we lost in the driving aspect of the match, but this time around we were both able to lift that up,” Putra said.
“There was plenty for us to prepare to ensure we were ready for the finals match. We learnt from the first match.”
Falcons Team member Kaitlyn Ea (VIC) was awarded the prestigious Cliff Cutt Memorial Trophy.
“It’s an honour to now be a part of the community (Cliff Cutt winners) and I feel that my recent trip playing in Europe helped with my performance at Nationals,” Ea said.

Having her name engraved alongside some of the country’s best players has amplified Ea’s belief in herself on the badminton court.
“It’s shown me that I can do it and has helped me build more confidence in myself,” she said.
The countdown has already begun for the tournament’s return to Bendigo in 2024!
A massive week at the 2023 YONEX Ede Clendinnen Shield and National Championships has come to an end.
On the last day of play there were several thrilling matches on court at the Bendigo Eaglehawk Badminton Association.
To start the day the NSW duo of Rizky Hidayat Ismail and Setyana Mapasa defeated Victorians Kenneth Choo and Gronya Somerville 21-14, 21-11 in the Mixed Doubles Final.
Next on court were Tiffany Ho (NSW) and Louisa Ma (VIC) in the Women’s Singles.
After reaching the final last year but falling short against Queensland’s Wendy Chen, Ho achieved a spirited finish to the week with a stunning 21-13, 15-21, 21-9 triumph over Ma.
Ricky Tang (NSW) and Gavin Ong (SA) were next on the court for the Men’s Singles, with Tang securing a dream finish to his week with a 21-16, 21-13 performance to claim the title.
After a dominant performance in the first match of the day, Mapasa was now back on court in the Women’s Doubles alongside Sylvinna Kurniawan (NSW).
The NSW pair were put to the test by Joyce Choong (VIC) and Angela Yu (QLD), however, their pairing proved too strong, and they took the match 23-21, 21-12.
The National championships concluded with the Men’s Doubles between Choo (VIC) and Rayne Wang (VIC) against NSW’s Ismail and Frengky Wijaya Putra.
Ismail kept on rolling with the same momentum from the day’s opening match to cap off his time in Bendigo alongside Putra with a strong 21-15, 21-18 win over the Victorians.
Falcons Team member Kaitlyn Ea (VIC) also capped off the tournament by being awarded the prestigious Cliff Cutt Memorial Trophy after exhibiting a high standard of excellence both on and off the badminton court throughout the week.
Congratulations to all the winners and we are already looking forward to heading back to Bendigo for the 2024 running of the National Championships.
Stay tuned to Badminton Australia’s social media channels during the week as we will be posting photos, winner interviews and other 2023 YONEX Ede Clendinnen Shield and National Championships content.
New South Wales has claimed the 2023 YONEX Ede Clendinnen Shield after a thrilling 3-2 win over Victoria on Wednesday afternoon.
The win for the New South Wales squad ends a 12-year drought after they last captured the Clendinnen back in 2011.
The victory didn’t come easy as Victoria pushed each encounter right to the end, with four of the five gold medal matches going to three games.
To start the day NSW’s Rizky Ismail and Setyana Mapasa defeated Victoria’s Kenneth Choo and Gronya Somerville 21-17 21-23, 21-17 in the mixed doubles.
Next on court was Jacob Schueler (VIC) who defeated Jie Ying Chan 21-13, 15-21, 21-11 in the men’s singles.
NSW’s Tiffany Ho then put another win on the board with a 21-17, 21-13 triumph over Louisa Ma (VIC) in the women’s singles.
Victoria’s Choo and Rayne Wang were next on court for the men’s doubles and were put to the test by Rizky Ismail and Frengky Putra but managed to secure a hard-fought 21-19, 8-21, 21-19 win.
With both states locked on two wins each, the deciding game came down to a thrilling match between Kaitlyn Ea and Somerville (VIC) and Sylvinna Kurniawan and Setyana Mapasa (NSW).
Control of the match went back and forth throughout play, but in the end NSW was too strong and claimed the Clendinnen 19-21, 21-12, 21-12.
NSW Manager and Player HD Tang said it was an honour to return the shield to NSW after a 12-year hiatus.
“We are super stoked after not having won the Clendinnen in 12 years, it feels great to bring gold back to NSW,” Tang said.
“Our whole team played so well and were all super-hyped cheering each other on during the matches.”
Tang said the victory didn’t come easy and described all the matches as “cliff-hangers”.
“I definitely had faith in my team, but I was still on the edge of my seat,” he said.
“We were all cheering as loud as we could.”
The triumph is still fresh in the mind of the NSW Manager, but one thing that’s already certain is the team is determined to come back and defend the title in 2024.
Tang also congratulated all of the other teams involved in the Clendinnen and thanked all of the officials and volunteers for running the tournament.
“A really huge thank you to them all,” he said.
“Sometimes they can be under-recognized for all of their hard work, so a huge shout out to everyone involved to make this happen.”
Meanwhile, South Australia defeated Western Australia 3-2 to claim the bronze medal.
In Division 2, Victoria 2 defeated Tasmania 2 3-0 to claim gold.
The competition is being fiercly contested at the YONEX Bendigo International 2022, as the field is narrowed down to eight ahead of the quarterfinals.
Day Three opened with the mixed doubles, seeing Oceania’s interest phased out as two pairs from Chinese Taipei ousted the fifth and eighth seeds from Australia and New Zealand.
The hybrid duo of Dylan Soedjasa and Kaitlyn Ea put up a good fight against the winner’s of last week’s YONEX Sydney International 2022, but were unable to find the answers in the latter half of their games.
Ko-Chi Chang/Chih Chen Lee (TPE) vs Ming Chuen Lim/Sylvina Kurniawan (AUS)[8] 21-14 21-16
Chen Xin-Yuan/Yang Ching Tun (TPE) vs Dylan Soedjasa/Kaitlyn Ea (NZL/AUS)[5] 21-14 21-17
Australia’s hopes in the women’s singles were dashed as Tiffany Ho succumbed to the pace and precision of Nana Hisaminatio – a 19-year-old who is competing in her first Open international tournament this week.
Nana Hisaminato (JPN) vs Tiffany Ho (AUS) 21-7 21-13
Pairs from Chinese Taipei and Japan reigned victorious in the women’s doubles draw too, particularly when it came to defeating pairs from Oceania.
Only Gronya Somerville and Hsuan-Yu Wendy Chen were able to strain free from their stronghold. The Commonwealth Games fourth place finishers made up for last week’s early exit to book their quarterfinal spot in Bendigo, becoming one of only three remaining pairs from Oceania left in the competition.
Chia Hsin Lee/Chun Hsun Teng (TPE)[3] vs Kaitlyn Ea/Angela Yu (AUS) 21-13 21-11
Ching Hui Chang/Ching Tun Yang (TPE)[4] vs Lee Yen Khoo/Justine Villegas (AUS/NZL) 21-8 21-5
