It’s a good start for Ng and Li so far as they win their second title of the season. They beat Hindle/Sands +21 (21-9 21-3 8-21 5-1) in the final, where they dominated in table tennis and badminton to create a big lead. They got quite a few points in squash against two squash players, which meant that they only needed 5 points in tennis.
King/Raiski beat Canty/Wiggin to secure the bronze medal +18 (21-4 21-6 6-21 5-4).
The singles finals are decided
