A total of fifteen medals went to Hong Kong athletes on day three of the Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, including golds in lawn bowls and boccia.

On the green, Wu Man-ying topped the women's singles class 7 podium by defeating Thailand's Nimit Karatak 15-12.

Wu was also in action on Day Three in the preliminary rounds of the mixed pairs B7. She and her partner Wong Kin-kwong started their campaign with a 17-7 defeat of India's Rinki and Vikash Narwal.

69 -year-old Tang Shun-yee became the oldest medalist in Hangzhou when she claimed silver in the women's singles B2. She lost out to China's Zhu Xiali 19-14 in the gold medal match.

And two bronzes went to Rockey Li and Rebecca Chan, in the men's singles B2 and women's singles B6, respectively.

In boccia, Yeung Hiu-lam won a gruelling final in an extra session against South Korea's Jeong Soyeong in the women's individual BC2.

Yeung hailed her "tough" opponent and said she's excited to have been able to defeat her after a number of gruelling games.

There were also bronze medals for veteran Leung Yuk-wing in the men's individual BC4, and Karen Kwok and Cheung Yuen in women's individual class 2 and class 4, respectively.

Five more medals came in table tennis, at the GSP Gymnasium in Gongshu District.

Chiu Kan-shan took silver in the women's singles TT7.

In a final full of twists and turns, Chiu took the first game from China's Wang Rui 9-11, before conceding the three remaining games and settling for a well deserved silver.

Wong Ting-ting also took silver, in the women's singles TT11, after a 3-1 defeat in the final to Japan's Natsuki Wada.

And there were bronzes for women's singles players Ng Mui-wui and Pang Wing-ka, as well as Wong Chi-yin in the men's singles, after each bowed out in their semifinal matches.

On the piste, veteran fencer Alison Yu claimed a bronze in the women's individual epee, after losing to China's Chen Yuandong in the semifinal.

And at the end of the day, swimmer Chan Yui-lam won silver in the women's 100-metre breaststroke SB14; adding to the three medals the 20-year-old rising star has already won at the Games so far.

Hong Kong has a total of 25 medals after three days of competition – four golds, nine silvers and twelve bronzes.
