Squash Claims 3 Medals in Samoa 

Squash has claimed 3 medals at the 2015 Youth Commonwealth Games in Samoa. With everyone walking away with a medal it has been a great few days for these top juniors.

The Women's Double saw a tough defeat for the top seeded pair of Ellie Epke and Abbie Palmer. This duo fought hard against the Malaysians in the final but it wasn't enough eventually going down to them.

In the Mixed doubles the pair of Luke Jones and Abbie Palmer had a tough first thing up this morning but they bounced back and showed great determination against Scotland taking the win for New Zealand and adding to the ever growing tally of medals. 

Malaysia managed a clean sweep in squash claiming the gold medals in every event inlcuding men's and women's singles as well as men's, women's and mixed doubles. 

Well done to the NZ Team!
