CHLOE AND SAM Magee will leave Minsk with bronze medals.
By Chris McNulty at the 2019 European Games
Gabrielle and Chris Adcock of Great Britain overcame the Magees in straight sets this morning.
The Adcocks took a 21-8 21-18 win in the semi-final.
It was a real family affair on court one at the Falcon Club with the Raphoe siblings in against the British husband-wife duo.
Yesterday’s 21-19 21-17 win over Selina Piek and Robin Tabeling from Netherlands has guaranteed the Magees a place on the podium.
Number 1 seeds, the Adcocks, claimed am impressed first game 21-8.
The Magees turned in a battling display but the Adcock pair took the second game 21-18 to end the Magees’ involvement.
It has been a positive week, though, with the Raphoe pair winning against Russia and Belarus, either side of a battling loss to France.
It is the third time the Magees will take away a bronze from a European stage.
They were the bronze medalist at the first edition of the European Games in 2015 and also at the 2017 European Badminton Championships.
