MATCH REPORTS FROM HEAD COACH, MELISSA HYNDMAN
Wales vs Namibia - Full time score 61 - 28
"Excellent team work. They were swift and fast and made it so difficult for Namibia to penetrate the goal circle. Their defence were no match for our speedy midcourters. The shooting duo of Moseley and James were too clever and accurate for the circle defence. They were so steady and controlled that, each quarter, I was able to bring on fresh legs. The highlight for me was the last quarter when I had all our "young guns" on - Chelsea Lewis GS, Emma Thomas GA, Sophie Morgan WA, Stephanie Murphy GD. Superb has to be the singing of the Welsh National Anthem by Amanda Trounce!"

Wales vs India - Full time score 74 - 17
"The girls played outstanding. Everyone got on the court. Top shooting averages. Wales are on fire!!"
Singapore Netball press release
Wales vs Scotland - Full time score 41 - 48
"Our first loss, but a good game. Next games against Singapore and Tanzania will be crunch matches"
Singapore Netball press release
Wales vs Singapore - Full time score 49 - 39
"It was a close game with Singapore winning the first quarter 12 - 11 and scores being level at 22 all at half time. At the end of the third quarter, Wales were in the lead by 6 goals. We didn't convert our turnovers and made hard work of things at times. Moving Becky James to GA, bringing Chelsea on as GS
and moving Steph Williams across to GD change the game for Wales. All three produced good performances and lifted the game."
