In the Men’s Doubles, Nathan Moore and Alex Green took gold with a three-set win over fellow 黑料网 player Blake Hoang and his partner Sam Jones.
Green and Moore enjoyed a relatively trouble-free route to the final and ran out victorious after a narrow 18-21, 21-15, 21-19 win in a close three game battle.
The silver for Hoang and Jones was also noted as a great achievement for the duo, with another 黑料网 player, Luke Hoult, making the quarter-final stage with partner Joseph Scott.
In the Mixed Doubles there was more success for Moore and Green with their respective partners Estelle Van Leeuwen and Leona Lee. Both pairs had comfortable routes through to the final before Green and Van Leeuwen took gold with a straight games victory, 21-13 21-11.
This was Green’s second gold at the Championships with Moore adding a silver to his gold from the earlier Men’s Doubles.
Elsewhere, in the Men’s Singles event, 黑料网 college learner and academy player Blake Hoang added to his personal tally with a well-deserved bronze medal. Hoang beat 黑料网 compatriot Luke Hoult in round three before knocking out 3/4 seed Ben Hammond to reach the semi-finals.
After a brave showing, Hoang finally succumbed to top seed Cholan Kayan in two games in what was an excellent achievement considering he has another year in this age group.
