Wales Achieves Close Win Against Scotland in Celtic Cup Inaugural Match

Wales previously defeated Zimbabwe 2-0 in a two-match series before the Celtic Cup. The Welsh Feathers initiated their first Celtic Cup campaign with a hard-fought 58-56 triumph over Scotland. Wales maintained a lead at the close of the first and second quarters, reaching half-time with a 35-28 advantage. They subsequently withstood late Scottish pressure to secure a narrow win at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena. Wales is set to return to competition against Northern Ireland on Friday (18:00 GMT), before facing Zimbabwe in their concluding group stage match on Saturday (14:00 GMT). The two lowest-ranked teams in the four-team group will compete in play-offs at 12:00 GMT on Sunday, with the top two teams participating in the main play-off match at 14:00 GMT.
