It has taken 26 years, but Great Britain’s women are finally back on a similar level to that reached in 1993 by a team that featured Jo Durie, Clare Wood and Sara Gomer.
And in truth they are now on a higher plain, because back then the World Group comprised of 32 teams playing in Frankfurt all together over one week, with GB going out of the first round.
Exactly where Sunday’s 3-1 victory in this promotion play-off leaves Anne Keothavong’s team cannot be exactly known, but as it stands they are at World Group level among the top 16 nations
