Squash: Bronze for NZ at world champs

9.30am

New Zealand won bronze medal at the Women's World Squash Championships in Amsterdam.

The sixth seeded kiwis have capped off a sensational week, with a 2-nil win over fourth seeded Egypt in the playoff for third pace.

New Zealand number one Shelley Kitchen again led the charge with a 9/7 9/7 9/2 victory over world number 10 Omneya Abdel Kawy.

And kiwi number two Tamsyn Leevey wrapped up the tie with a 9/5 9/3 8/10 9/5 victory over Engy Kheirallah.

Kitchen says they didn't have much energy left after some close ties this week, but fortunately they had just enough gas in the tank to win.

Top seeds Australia claimed the title with a 2-nil win over second seeded England in the final.
