Magee romps to opening win

Ireland's Chloe Magee got off to a terrific start at London 2012

Ireland's Chloe Magee opened her London 2012 campaign with a convincing victory over Hadia Hosny of Egypt.

The world number 44, of Raphoe in County Donegal, proved too strong for a player ranked 69 places below her, winning 21-17 21-6 in 28 minutes at Wembley Arena.

The pair traded points throughout the first game before the nimble Magee pulled away to take control.

The second then proved a procession, lasting a mere 10 minutes, as Magee eased to a confidence-boosting win ahead of her second game in Group I against former world number four Pi Hongyan on Tuesday.
