Pitchford disappointed to miss out on gold

Team England table tennis player Liam Pitchford has revealed that he was disappointed to miss out on two gold medals at the Commonwealth Games.

The 21-year-old sustained a loss with teammate Tin-Tin Ho in the mixed doubles final against Paul and Joanna Drinkhall.

Pitchford also lost his semi-final clash against Singapore's Ning Gao in the men's singles to miss the chance to compete in the gold-medal match.

He told reporters: "We started really bad and although we came back, they had a lot of confidence. We should have started better and I'm disappointed. It was a tough match.

"I've lost two tough matches in a row now and I've got to play a bronze medal match so it has been a hard day, but I'll pick myself up and go again."

Pitchford will play for the bronze medal later today in the men's singles.
