Team England's Chris Langridge "happy" with performance

Team England's Chris Langridge says that he is happy with his and teammate Heather Olver's performance in their straight-sets victory over Kenya.

Chris Langridge has declared himself happy with Team England's performance in today's mixed doubles match against Kenya.

Langridge and teammate Heather Olver eased past their opponents 21-7 21-4 at the Emirates Arena to book their place in the last 16 of the Commonwealth Games.

"We put in a good performance today and we are happy," Langridge told reporters. 
"The last few points we tried to rally a little bit longer just to get used to the hall a bit more as we have played a few games but not loads in here.


"I think our opponents were a little bit nervous and we did have quite a lot of the crowd on our side so it was probably quite tough for them."

England's Gabby Adcock and Chris Adcock also progressed through to the next round.
