Cornwall County Badminton Association held their County U21 championships at Polkyth Leisure Centre on Sunday 30th December. There was a record entry of players and a fantastic display of very competitive and hard fought matches across all three disciplines – singles, level doubles & mixed doubles. The event was well supported by many players from the U15 & U17 squads of Cornwall Youth Badminton who showed both great talent and sportsmanship throughout the day.
Hester Luke ( Mounts Bay BC) who beat Bronwen Wotton(First Edition BC) in the Ladies singles final.
Lee Chapple (Mounts Bay BC) & Jack Dyer (First Edition BC) who lifted the Mens Doubles title from former champions Ross Lashbrook ( Launceston BC) & Sam Spencer ( First Edition BC).
Kellen Moore & Amy Polglaze (First Edition Badminton Club) who as U15 players had a fantastic win in The Ladies Doubles over sisters Bronwen & Bethany Wotton (First Edition Badminton Club)
