Fiji badminton players have bowed out in the quarterfinals of the Northshore International Tournament in Auckland.

Ryan Fong and Burty Molia were not lucky enough to advance into the semifinals in the men's double event after going down to New Zealand's Stephen Lee and Jian Dee Chew by 21-18 and 21-16.

Fiji badminton players were taking this tournament as a build-up to next month's Pacific Games in Samoa.
