Don't miss a moment from the Celtic Cup opener, as the Welsh Feathers delivered an impressive performance on Scottish soil to defeat the Thistles 48–43 in front of a passionate Glasgow crowd. The highlights reel showcases an engrossing contest between two sides ranked seventh and tenth in the world respectively, with both teams bringing physicality and tactical intensity from the opening whistle. Scotland, led by captain Emily Nicholl from goal defence, started with real energy and held the lead at the end of the first quarter.
Wales took control through a dominant second-quarter display, with goal shooter Georgia Rowe converting at over 90 per cent and wing attack Leah Middleton providing a stream of precise feeds into the circle. The highlights capture the turning point — a sequence of three consecutive turnovers from the Welsh defensive unit that flipped the momentum and saw the Feathers establish a lead they would never relinquish. Scotland fought hard in the final quarter, with goal attack Niamh McCall and centre Iona Christian driving a late surge, but Wales held firm to take a 1–0 lead in the series. A must-watch for fans ahead of Glasgow 2026.
