Badminton Bonanza 2024
Over 60 badminton players from all over Cornwall and Plymouth, gathered at Truro School’s 8 court sports centre at the weekend to take part in Cornwall Badminton Association’s popular Bonanza event.
The idea of Badminton Bonanza tournaments is to give both social players and those who play league badminton a chance to try out and develop their skills against different players. The many regulars were joined this time by some very welcome new faces, some playing in a tournament for the first time, as the Bonanza goes from strength to strength, with any profits going towards developing badminton in Cornwall.
Results –
League men’s singles – winner Jake Brazewell runner up Lee Chapple
Social men’s singles - winner Martin Penney, runner up Simon Rafferty
League women’s singles – winner Hester Luke, runner up Sheila Wu
Social women’s singles - Amelia Ooi
League men’s doubles – winners Jake Turpie & Will Woolard, runners up Jake Brazewell & Alec Hill

Champions!
The Cornwall team finished off the season in style at the weekend, completing an impressive unbeaten run to become Division Champions and gain promotion after excellent victories over Avon, Berkshire and Guernsey, giving them an amazing 23 point advantage over their nearest rivals.
Before this final set of matches, Cornwall had comprehensively beaten teams from Devon, Somerset, the Isle of Wight, plus another Avon team, 11-0 in each match to have a healthy lead, but needed to win enough games to secure promotion. This young, talented team proceeded to win the majority of the remaining games and can be very proud of their efforts this season, and will look forward to playing at a higher level next year.
Team -
Hope Warner (Illogan), Joanna Vyvyan (Camborne), Melissa Lin (Truro), Jess Hargrave (Somerset), Milo Semonin (Illogan), Liam Sillifant (Launceston), Guy Michell (St Austell), Jack Dyer, Elliot Dyer, Harry Dyer (all Truro)
