The Magee siblings were in action at the European Badminton Championships in Spain this week.

Rachel Darragh received a bye into round 2 of the women’s singles.
Rachel, who competed at the Commonwealth Games for Northern Ireland two weeks ago, lost her last 32 tie to German Luise Heim 21-19 21-17.
In the women’s doubles, Rachel also suffered defeat with partner Sara Boyle.
They lost in the first round 21-15,15-21,21-16 to Jenny Nystorm and Sonja Pekkola from Finland.
