Scotland and Northern Ireland have both secured qualification for the Netball World Cup, following a three-day qualifying event held in East Kilbride, according to BBC Sport.
The qualifying tournament brought together competing nations over the three days, with Scotland and Northern Ireland emerging among the teams to book their places at the upcoming World Cup. Further details on the full results of the event, including how other competing nations fared, were not included in the initial report.
Qualification for the Netball World Cup represents a significant achievement for both national programs, offering their players the opportunity to compete on the sport's biggest international stage. Netball has a strong following in the UK and Ireland, with national teams regularly competing in regional and global competitions.
East Kilbride, in Scotland, served as host for the qualifying event, providing a home advantage of sorts for the Scottish team as it secured its place in the tournament.
Looking ahead
With qualification secured, both Scotland and Northern Ireland will now turn their attention to preparations for the World Cup itself, where they will face competition from netball programs around the world.
