Squash: New Zealanders bow out in second round

Leading New Zealanders Shelley Kitchen and Tamsyn Leevey bowed out in the second round in Doha yesterday.

Kitchen started well against Malaysia's Nicol David, taking the first game 9-5, but she was unable to match the world No 4 over the next three games, losing 9-5, 3-9, 6-9, 0-9.

After upsetting the world No 8 on Wednesday, Leevey's giant-killing run ended against Irish 11th seed Madeline Perry when she went down 4-9, 2-9, 4-9.
