David overpowers Massaro to win squash gold

ENGLAND'S Laura Massaro was consigned to silver after losing to Malaysia’s Nicol David in the women’s singles squash final.

  David, 30, produced a superb performance to win 12-10 11-2 11-5.

  It is back-to-back Commonwealth golds for David, who did not drop a single game when she won in Delhi in 2010.

  New Zealand’s Joelle King claimed bronze as she beat England’s Alison Waters 11-7 11-7 11-5 in the third-place play-off.

  David has been world number one for 99 months and has won the World Open title a record seven times.

  But Massaro, 30, is the world number two and went into the Commonwealths full of confidence after winning both the World Open and British Open titles this year.

  Massaro, based in Preston, began quickly and looked to be bossing the opening game, but David showed why she has been the dominant figure in women’s squash for so long by fighting back to pinch it 12-10.
