Welsh Feathers booked their place in the final of netball's Celtic Cup with a 50-46 victory against Zimbabwe Gems.

Feathers had trailed 13-11 after the opening quarter before levelling the scores to 25-25 at half-time.

The Wales side took a narrow 36-35 lead into the final quarter and won some crucial turnovers with just a few minutes to go to edge what had been a tight encounter at Glasgow's Emirates Arena.

Feathers have now won three from three going into Sunday's final (14:00 GMT), with previous victories over Northern Ireland Warriors and Scottish Thistles.

Hosts Thistles take on Warriors in their final group fixture later on Saturday in a game that should decide who will face Wales in the final.
