The weekend’s netball action saw Trendell Sporting Scholar Jayda Pechova, who graduated in Sports Performance this summer, make her Commonwealth Games debut in England’s 83-34 victory over Northern Ireland.
She also played 30 minutes of Sunday’s tough contest against Australia, the reigning champions showing their class in a 66-47 victory. England, coached by University of Bath Hall of Fame for Sport inductee Anna Stembridge, will look to bounce back on Monday against Malawi (2pm).
It was a frustrating start to the Games for Team Bath Netball’s Poppy Tydeman, who was part of the Wales team that narrowly lost their opening Pool B matches against Uganda and host nation Scotland. They will look to register a first win against Trinidad & Tobago on Tuesday (4pm).
