GB stars set to descend on city for showpiece event

Scotland women’s coach “Ben” Gunn’s squad includes exciting freshers Claire Paxton and Hannash Peacock in the five from Edinburgh University and two Irish caps, Shauna O’Connor and Louise Gray, in the three from Queen Margaret, while Scots cap Emma Findlay (Glasgow Caledonian) is also there.
