Micah Franklin and Noah Browne have won Bermuda’s first medal at the Central American and Caribbean Games for eight years — despite losing to Mexico in the men’s doubles squash semi-finals in Cali, Colombia, today.
The pair, who were guaranteed bronze after beating Trinidad and Tobago 11-8, 11-4 in the quarter-finals on Saturday, won the opening set 11-10 against César and Arturo Martínez Salazar, of Mexico, before losing the next two 11-6, 11-5.
Franklin said he has mixed emotions after threatening to pull off a big upset.
“It was a very tight game and we so easily could have snuck an upset,” said the 25-year-old.
