Scarlett and Blundell downed - New Zealand's source for sport, rugby, cricket & league news on Stuff.co.nz: "Anna Scarlett is preparing for a tough year, after faltering again against the Brazilians in the Wellington leg of the New Zealand beach volleyball tour.

Scarlett and Susan Blundell went down fighting in yesterday's final. After losing the first set 21-18, they fought back to claim the second 21-19, before losing the third 15-8.

'We're athletes and we're competitors, so we want to win. It's not nice coming third or second, but we've got to take the positives out of it, which are things are coming together slowly,' Scarlett said.

'We've got time on our side looking ahead to 2012. This is a frustrating time, because I want to be good now and I know that we can be.'

The pair are aiming to qualify for the London Olympics in 2012, and will embark on the world tour for the first time this year."
