º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ’s Lizzie Tolman enjoyed a successful Yonex Belgian International competition earlier this month, returning home with a brilliant silver medal in the Women’s Doubles.

Tolman, playing alongside partner Estelle Van Leeuwen, narrowly missed out on gold in the final against a strong Japan pair. Despite fighting hard, Tolman had to settle for a fine silver as their opponents secured a 21-8 21-10 victory.

In the previous round, Tolman and Van Leeuwen edged past a strong Sweden duo in a close three-set match 18-21, 22-20, 23-21, to underline their strong credentials in the competition.

In the Mixed Doubles, Lizzie Tolman and Alex Green reached the last 16 after narrowly losing to a strong Denmark pair in three sets 21-16, 11-21, 11-21. Charlotte Freer also competed in the Mixed Doubles with her brother William Freer but unfortunately lost to another strong Denmark pair who successfully reached the quarterfinals.

Fellow º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ athlete Alex Green also competed in the Men’s doubles with partner Brandon Yap but unfortunately lost in round 32 after battling hard in a close three set match, 10-21 21-17 14-21.
