Smith remains alive, Forsyth out

New Zealand bowler Ali Forsyth was today knocked out of the Commonwealth Games men's singles event, falling one match short of making the semifinals in New Delhi.

The New South Wales-based Forsyth, who finished second in his section, was beaten at the first playoff stage by Australian Leif Selby 2-11 13-1 4-3.

New Zealand's medal hopes now rest with Nelson's Val Smith, who beat England's Natalie Melmore 9-7 6-5 and will face Australian Kelsey Cottrell in a semifinal this afternoon.
