Laura Arnaud and Alexandra Heraclide from New Caledonia took on Priscilla Tommy and Anolyn Lulu in the Gold medal match for the Women's Doubles.

The first game saw Tommy play some incredible Defensive play to set up the first game and to put the Vanuatu pair 1 game to 0 in front.

The second game was very tight and it seemed that Lulu was struggling under the pressure because when it got tight she missed some easy balls and the New Caledonian pair took the 2nd game 11-9.

Tommy however, was playing strong table tennis and with some excellent defensive play she got the Vanuatu pair back into a strong position in the third game. However, the New Caledonian pair fought back to make it 9-9. Then it was 10-10 after a great smash from Heraclide. Lulu then missed two relatively easy topspins to give New Caledonia a 2 games to 1 lead.

In the 4th game and the Vanuatu pair looked dejected as Arnaud and Heraclide got off to a great start and won the first four points. Then just when it seemed over the New Caledonians could get nothing past the young Tommy and she played some incredible table tennis to give Vanuatu the game 11-7.
