Cornwall ASA Masters - Bodmin took a small team to the annual Cornish Masters meet. As usual there were a number of medal successes. Star billing must however go to coach Keith Haynes who while not quite approaching the form of his glory years was good enough to win all 5 events available (50 Breast, Back, Fly & Free + 100 IM).
Sarah Thomas the club's Juniors coach only wanted to do the relays but was persuaded to enter the 50 Free which she won convincingly in her age group.
Parents Neville & Frances Toptani also won medals (although of a lesser colour!) in their events.
The relay team of Keith, Sarah, Frances & Neville also achieved a 2nd & 4th place in the medley & Free relays respectively!
Despite having such a small team, the club came an overall 6th in the club championship.
