Brentford ambassador Andy Lapthorne wins silver at the Paralympics

Brentford FC ambassador Andy Lapthorne and his partner Peter Norfolk have won the Silver medal in the Quad Tennis Doubles. 
The British pair were beaten in three sets by the number 1 seeds - the American duo of Nicholas Taylor and David Wagner - in the final this afternoon.
Andy and Peter lost the first set 6-2 before fighting back to claim the second set 7-5 to set up a final-set decider in front of a partisan crowd at Eton Dorney.
However the American pair rode out the storm and took the third and final set 6-2 to take the gold medal. 
Everybody at Brentford FC sends their congratulations to Andy on his silver medal.
