England moved into the men’s team semi-finals at the Commonwealth Games

England moved smoothly into the men’s team semi-finals at the Commonwealth Games with a victory over Cyprus. Cyprus had earned their place in the last eight as runners-up in the group won by Nigeria having beaten Ghana and South Africa.

Afterwards PITCHFORD said: “I knew Marios YIANGOU could play. I knew I had to be ready and I was I played one of the best matches I’ve played for a long time. I was focused I was playing well and I didn’t give him a chance as I knew he would take it if I did.

England will face Singapore who was 3-0 winners over Canada.

“It is probably another step up so we need to be ready again. They are all good players and have a strong doubles pair. We need to get the first point on the board and put them under pressure. They are a bit more inexperienced than us so if we can capitalise on that and put them under pressure from the start we stand a good chance.”

In Women’s semi final Wales lost to Malaysia 2:3.
