Welsh Feathers complete double over Zimbabwe Gems

Welsh Feathers celebrated a double Test victory over Zimbabwe Gems as part of preparations for their Celtic Cup title defence.

They backed up Saturday's 66-39 victory at Cardiff City's House of Sport with a 50-44 win on Sunday.

There were two new faces on show for Wales in the first match, with Millie Carter and Ellie Blackwell making their international debuts.

Leah Middleton was named player of the first match in what was her first appearance since dislocating her ankle, while Georgia Rowe took the honour on her 75th cap on Sunday.

The Celtic Cup begins on Wednesday, 26 November.

This year's competition sees an increase from four to six teams with the addition of world number seven side Uganda She Cranes and the 18th-ranked side Namibia Desert Jewels.
