Helen Jones is just one win away from a medal after she won her opening bout in the women's bantamweight division.

The 27-year-old beat Nigerian southpaw Kadijat Ajishola on a split decision.

Jones is competing in her second Games having also competed in Birmingham four years ago.

All five judges awarded the Welsh boxer the first round after forcing a standing count for Ajishola by catching her with a clean combination.

The Nigerian improved with her accuracy in the second round but three judges gave Jones the round after she finished strongly.

The Swansea boxer was given a standing count in the third and final round as Ajishola threw everything at her in search of the win.

But it wasn't enough and Jones recorded her first win at a Commonwealth Games.

Jones joins defending champion Rosie Eccles and Niamh Brookes in the quarter-finals, while Connor Williams, Orlando Holley-Sotomi, Owain Harris-Allan and Daniel Pitt are in the last 16.

Wales narrowly missed out on a medal by one point in the women's gymnastics team final after an agonising wait in Glasgow.

Ruby Evans, Emily and Abigail Roper, Frances Stone and Jemima Taylor set a competitive score of 153.400 before being made to wait until Australia, Canada, England and South Africa had completed their routines.

The Welsh team, frequently shown on the big screen across the two-hour gap, sat together in the crowd near their squad of supporters who had been vocal during their performances earlier in the day.

After three rotations, Wales sat in 4th place with England occupying the bronze medal spot, with just the floor left.

There was some controversy when the incorrect music was played for English gymnast Shanna-Kae Grant's routine, which only added to the tension.

Abigail Martin stepped onto the podium as England's final competitor, knowing that a score better than 12.350 on the floor would be enough to leapfrog Wales onto the podium.

Martin secured the best floor score of the night with 13.250, giving England the bronze with a final score of 154.300.

Australia claimed gold with a score of 158.400 while Canada secured silver with 157.300.

The team event serves as qualification for individual events and Ruby Evans qualified in second for Sunday night's all-around final.

She will be joined by Emily Roper who qualified in ninth.

Evans has also qualified for the balance beam, floor and uneven bars finals.

Emily Roper will be joined by her twin sister Abigail in the vault final and will also join Evans in the uneven bars.

The boxing campaign finally started for Wales when light-heavyweight Daniel Pitt defeated Samoa's Dee Ioapo in the men's 80kg category.

Pitt, 20, was the first Welsh boxer in action after being the only one unfortunate enough to be drawn in the last 32 round.

The Brecon product is a youth world champion with five international gold medals and is also back-to-back British champion.

All five judges scored in favour of Pitt who will now face Papua New Guinea's Kua Gunua Mua in the next round.

Pitt picked up a cut above the eye following a clash of heads but will hope that will not affect him in his next bout.

Connor Williams, Helen Jones, Orlando Holley-Sotomi and Owain Harris-Allan have been drawn in the last 16 stage.

Defending champion Rosie Eccles and Niamh Brookes are one win away from a medal after going straight through to the quarter-finals.

Wales netball side suffered a 59-50 defeat by Uganda in Pool B after a costly third quarter.

In their opening game, Wales led 31-28 at half-time but the African side won the next period 17-8.

Uganda, sixth in the world rankings and a place above Wales, did not let their lead slip.

Georgia Rowe top-scored for Wales with 30 goals while Shadiah Nassanga and Mary Cholhok scored 27 and 23 respectively for Uganda.

Wales also lost centre Vicky Booth in the final quarter to what looked like an ankle injury.

"We were going out there to win today but it was just that third quarter where we gave away far too much possession," said Wales captain Bethan Dykes.

"I'm not really sure what happened. I'll have to go and have a look at it. We didn't feel like we changed a lot, but they came out and adapted, which we needed to do quicker.

"Defensively, we won a lot of balls today, but [in] attack, we weren't clinical enough in that third quarter."

Wales face hosts Scotland next on Sunday at 09:00 BST.

Newport County were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw at Bath City after a late leveller by former Exiles striker Alex Fisher.

County led 1-0 at the break thanks to forward Ged Garner, who was put on the transfer list in May, scoring with the help of a deflection off former Exiles defender Kieran Parselle.

Bath equalised three minutes after the restart when Danny Greenslade's set-piece went in but the visitors responded quickly to restore their lead with a near-post header by teenage defender Harrison Halpin.

Fisher, who scored two goals as hard-working targetman for County in 2021-22, levelled against the run of play from close range in the 79th minute to earn a draw for the hosts from the Southern Football League Premier Division Central.

Interim Newport manager Chris Todd will be in charge for a first Rodney Parade fixture when the Exiles face League One Reading in a friendly on Tuesday, 28 July (19:30 BST).
