Wales secured their first netball win at the Commonwealth Games with a polished display against Trinidad & Tobago.

Georgia Rowe scored 32 goals and Nansi Kuti 23 in the 74-30 victory in Pool B, which followed disappointing defeats to Scotland and Uganda.

Wales dominated the first two quarters to put the result beyond doubt, leading 43-19 at half-time against a side who had already conceded 238 goals in their first three games.

That allowed coach Emily Handyside to make significant changes throughout the match, with 19-year-old wing attack Lowri Windsor making her debut.

Wales' remaining games are against the two strongest sides in Pool B, New Zealand on Wednesday and Jamaica on Thursday.
