NORTHERN Ireland matched Zimbabwe goal for goal in the Celtic Cup 3rd/4th place play off until the African Gems pulled away at the finish to record their second win over the Warriors in three days.
A fourth defeat and no wins in Glasgow means the Warriors finish a disappointing fourth in the inaugural tournament and can only look to lessons learned.
Welsh Feathers beat Scottish Thistles 59-47 in Sunday’s final to clinch overall victory.
Wales went into the final in Glasgow having won all three of their group stage fixtures.
After beating the hosts 58-56 in their tournament opener, the Feathers secured an even more impressive win against the Scots in the final to taste glory in the maiden edition of the competition.
