Chloe and Sam Magee are into the quarter-finals of the AIG FZ Forza Irish Open.

The Raphoe siblings overcame Samy Corvee and Margot Lambert from France in their opening match at Abbotstown.

A 21-8 21-13 win has teed the Magees up for a last eight showdown with Carl Christian Mork and Solvar Flaten Jorgensen.

Their niece, Rachael Darragh, had to withdraw with an injury during a mixed doubles game earlier today.

Joshua Magee lost out to Nick Fransman 21-14 21-15 in the men’s singles while he will team up with Paul Reynolds to square off with Dominic Ashton and Brandon Zhi Hao Yap in the men’s doubles.
