The Para-mixed bowls B2-B3 pair succeeded in their early morning bid for a Commonwealth Games bronze medal with a dramatic tie-break win against New Zealand.
The duo of Julie Thomas and Steffan James, aided by directors Jamie Jones and John Wilson, defeated New Zealand's pair of Sonya Woodrow and Kerrin Wheeler, aided by directors Kimberly Carraher and Colin Wheeler.
Wales lost the first set 7-4 but battled back to win the second set 6-3 to set up the sudden death end.
After Thomas had set up the chance and James held his nerve with two brilliant final bowls. New Zealand's final delivery failed and Wales celebrated.
The Wales campaign came full circle after it had started with a dramatic tie-break comeback win against Australia.
