Wales finished eighth at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham

Wales' netballers secured their place at the 2023 World Cup in style as Welsh Feathers completed a clean sweep of wins at the European qualifiers.

Feathers had already claimed a spot in Cape Town next year with Saturday's 60-34 win over Northern Ireland.

But Sara Moore's side finished with a flourish in Glasgow by beating hosts Scotland 58-51 for a fifth victory.

Having failed to reach the 2019 World Cup in Liverpool, Welsh Feathers can now look forward to South Africa.

The Welsh side top the six-team table having beaten Isle of Man 78-22 in their opener on Wednesday and following that with a 95-19 triumph over Gibraltar 24 hours later, before a 75-23 win over Republic of Ireland on Friday.

Welsh Feathers squad:

Georgia Rowe, Suzy Drane (co-capt), Nia Jones (co-capt), Eleanor Watkins (nee Roberts), Bethan Dyke (vice-capt), Ella Powell-Davies (vice-capt), Phillipa Yarranton, Clare Jones (vice-capt), Lucy Howells, Sarie Watkins, Shona O'Dwyer, Christina Shaw. Travelling reserves: Holly Jones, Celyn Emanuel, Caris Morgan.
