CORNWALL U21 COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS

POLKYTH LEISURE CENTRE, ST AUSTELL

30th DECEMBER 2012


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.

There were some inspiring performances resulting in new champions emerging – these were from:

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)


Ross Lashbrook in his final year as an U21 took an impressive brace of titles by retaining both the mens singles event by overcoming a very worthy runner up in Jake Brazwell (Newquay BC & Cornwall U17’s) and by holding for the 3rd consecutive year the Mixed Doubles title with his long term partner Bronwen Wotton.
