Gloria was particularly pleased having lost out on a place in the quarter-finals of the championship because of illness.

She was advised not to attempt the two matches she was due to play and had to withdraw, but her team-mates ensured there would be a happy ending.

The club is due to hold its annual meeting on Saturday from 7pm.
