Cornwall U15s made a flying start to their season with an outstanding victory over Somerset, delivering a dominant performance across both the singles and doubles matches.

The team showed great determination, skill, and teamwork throughout the day, setting the tone early and maintaining their momentum from start to finish.

In the singles competition, Cornwall claimed victory in 11 of the 16 matches, demonstrating strength and consistency across the squad. The success continued in the doubles, where Cornwall won an impressive 6 out of 8 matches, underlining the depth of talent and excellent partnerships within the team.

The overall result reflects the players' hard work in training and the commitment shown by the coaching staff, players, and families who support the team throughout the season.

A special thank you to our youngest player, Mia, who stepped in to play for Somerset after they were left a player short on the day. Her willingness to help meant that all fixtures could be played, creating a better day's badminton for everyone involved. A fantastic example of sportsmanship and everything that's great about our badminton community and of course to U15 Parent Captain Becky for looking after the team on the day.

With such a strong opening performance, Cornwall U15s have laid down an early marker and can take great confidence into the rest of their fixtures.
