England’s beach women will face a wait to see if they will qualify for the Commonwealth Games, after defeat in the final of the European Qualification tournament. Jess Grimson and Vicky Palmer lost 2-0 to hosts Cyprus in Larnaca. The Cypriot pair automatically qualify for the Commonwealth Games as tournament winners.
