World Rowing 2013: Chambers brothers win semi-final

Northern Ireland's Richard and Peter Chambers have won their lightweight men's double semi-final at the World Championships in South Korea.

The Coleraine brothers came through in the closing stages to beat Norway in a time of six minutes, 18.39 seconds.

The Great Britain team duo had stayed in the pack, behind Austria, in the first half of Thursday's race.

"We had a good battle with the Norwegians and it's just good to win," said Richard, the elder of the two.

"We knew it was going to be tough but it was also a good challenge for us."

The final of the lightweight men's double takes place on Saturday morning.
