On the inaugural day of the Four Nations Test Event, the Birmingham 2022 Games squad, the Para team, and the Lions enjoyed an exciting opener at Victoria Park, Royal Leamington Spa.

In the Men’s Singles England’s Jamie Walker secured two shots on the final end to secure a thrilling 21-20 victory against Australia’s Corey Wedlock.

An 18-18 draw against Wales’ Anwen Butten in the Triples kicked off Rebecca Wigfield’s 2022 campaign, “I’m thrilled to be back on the greens at Victoria Park as well as to be a member of the England Lions squad” she said.
