British duo win second match in a row

Beach volleyball pair Lucy Boulton and Denise Johns enjoyed another successful day at the Olympic test event at Horse Guards Parade in London. The British number two duo held their nerve in a tight first set to beat American pair Tealle Hunkus and Heather Lowe 21-19 21-14 and secure their second win in as many days. "We're loving it and it's just great to be out there," Boulton said. "The atmosphere is fantastic and the crowd are really getting behind us. "To have two wins out of two means we're on our way. There are teams here this week that are going to be here [in 2012]." In the evening session Britain's Zara Dampney and Shauna Mullin fought back to save three match points and beat Puerto Rican pair Yarleen Santiago and Dariam Acevedo.
