HE MAY already have a bronze medal to his name but Southampton’s David McBeath is not resting on his laurels.

The 26-year-old is making his Games debut for Team England and helped his nation to men’s team bronze on Monday.

But he’s already back on the table in two more events.

He began his men’s and mixed doubles campaigns on Wednesday with two victories and is not hiding his ambitions.

“I’d like to take a medal,” he said. “We got one in the team comp and I’ve done well with Sam [Walker] before and I like playing with Kelly [Sibley].

“Gold would be nice but I’d take anything - that’s the main ambition.”

He’s already into the last 16 of each event following wins on Wednesday.

McBeath began his day in the men’s event, playing with Walker and easing past Belize’s Terry Su and Devesh Hukmani by with a score of 11-3 11-2 11-2.

And, after a first-set wobble, it was another straightforward victory alongside Sibley in the mixed event - beating Malaysia’s Ai Xin Tee and Muhammad Ashraf Haiq Muhamad Rizal 11-9 11-6 11-5.

“The first set was pretty tense, we were 10-6 up and it went to 10-9,” he said.

“But I think we played quite well and they were quite good opposition. After the first set we settled down and it was a lot more straight forward.

“It was quite tough in the beginning to get going. It’s our first match of the tournament so it was just good to get the win.

“Men’s doubles was really good. We play a lot together. I’ve actually only played one other tournament with Kelly before whereas I’ve played for about 18 months with Sam. We played really well in that match and are looking forward to the next round.”

McBeath and Sibley will play India’s Sharath Achanta and Mouma Das in the last 16. He and Walker will face Scotland’s Craig Howieson and Gavin Rumgay.

“The whole Games experience has been really good,” he added. “I follow a lot of other sport so it’s been nice to be around other sportspeople,” he concluded.

“All the other guys have been to Olympics or Commonwealth Games so it’s been a good help, it’s everyday business for them.”
