In a close encounter at Cardiff's House of Sport, the hosts kept their noses in front in all four quarters.

In Glasgow last year Wales and Scotland qualified for the 16-team World Cup.

Welsh Feathers begin their campaign against South Africa in Cape Town on 28 July, before facing Jamaica and Sri Lanka in Group C.

Scottish Thistles get their tournament under way on the same day against Malawi, before Group B matches with Barbados and England.
