So whilst rounders isn't on the Olympic program for Paris, it is virtually certain to be back in for LA in 2028 - bye-bye breaking!! - and this could actually be one of the few team sports where :GBR secure a quota having come so close to getting to Tokyo. 

 

In the first round of matches at the World Cup Group A, :GBR, ranked 16th in the world defeated world number 9 :AUS 2-0 for the only upset in the first round of matches. 

 

In other matches in the group, :USA were 5-0 winners against :TPE and :IRL won 7-0 against :BOT

A third shutout on the bounce for :GBR as they beat :IRL 7-0. The Irish girls had a bit of mare pitching in the 3rd innings and to give up all 7 runs and ended up falling foul of the Run Ahead Rule so the game ended after 5 innings.

 

This guarantees :GBR a top 2 spot in group A although they still have to take on Botswana and USA tomorrow. Botswana should be a straightforward win but they'd love to get the win against the world number 1s as well.

No chance that they're beating the USA.
