Bronze for Magee’s at European Badminton Championships


It was a disappointing end to the European badminton championship for the Magee siblings, missing out on silver, in Denmark.
Chloe and Sam Magee secured at least a bronze medal yesterday, with a win over Polish pair Robert Mateusiak and Nadiezda Zieba in the quarter-finals.
They took on favourites for the tournament – Joachim Fischer Nielson and Christinna Pederson today, but it ended in defeat for the Raphoe due.
The pair fell to a straight set defeat, by scores of 21-14 and 21-10.
Despite the semi-final exit, history was made by the siblings, who are Ireland’s first ever medalists in badminton, on a European front.
